Climbing bean or runner beans?

Climbing bean or runner beans? How to choose between them if room for only one? Which are more productive? Depends on the season. In a decent warm year I reckon you get much better cropping off the more vigorous tall climbing beans. And potentially in a smaller space since they go upwards. This year the summer here was so cold and a late frost or two scuppered them so that my non climbing beans competing with nearby spuds were way taller than the climbing beans until September. In a decent warm year I reckon the climbers will win but not this year - they barely got going. The non-climbers also succumbed to a black rot of beans inside the pods due I suspect to a combination of damp and cold. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
