Climbing French Beans - making a come back
My CFB's cropped prolifically late July to 1st week of August then stopped
abruptly (compared to the past two autumns when they cropped to early November) - due to the drought. However, with some watering and recent rains, they have now started again. So always worth hanging on to. Trevor East Yorkshire --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Ours don't look so good today and there's another frost tonight. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |

I am planning to make a larger climbing frame and do more of them next year; this is not the first year they have done a lot better than the dwarf varieties for me. In particular, most of the latter seem to be bred for cropping once, as you also observe. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I never bother with the dwarf ones. The climbing and more
economical/productive on space, and are far less likely re stringiness Trevor East Yorkshire "Nick Maclaren" wrote in message ...
