How fast do runner beans grow?
 

No matter how I hunt for runner beans, and pick all available, the next
day on walking past I almost bang my head on a large bunch.

Am I blind, or do they really grow that fast?

I expect you are missing them, no matter how hard one tries to pick them all
if someone else walks down the row they will spot ones left behind.
The Foreman's always telling me off for missing them. :-)

They hide when you are picking, only emerging after you have gone indoors
to cook their siblings.


Ph wee, thank goodness for that, I was really in a tiz. :-)

Rows, but then we do have a couple of allotments. Sue's father used to grow
them straight up strings nailed on his 6ft fences all around his very small
garden, looked good as a background each year (hid the fences) and he got a
good crop too.

They do grow really fast and need picking each or every two days to avoid
those big stringy ones that they sell in the shops
