Just the one

That's it - just the one.


This has not been a very good season here for runner bean production!

  1. :D We can't even say it's a very pretty bean either, can we? lol The teepee and plant look great though.
    Try again next summer, full sun and lots of compost?

  2. Oh dear!.....Are you saving it for seed? Mine haven't been much better this year. I got my first bean at the end of August, and they finished over a week ago. I got three meals off mine. I've left the vines in place in the hope more flowers will appear, but I don't really expect any more now.

  8. I've only had a few more than that, I'm still hopeful though as there's lots of small beans on the plants, they just need to grow a bit. This cold weather isn't helping things along. Let's hope for a better year all round in 2013.

  14. I wouldn't say we had exactly a glut of runners but we have managed half a dozen dinners and there's as many again in the freezer. They will be kept for "specisl" as there is so few and I want some saved for christmas dinner. We didn't do well with just about everything else we planted so I'm really pleased with the beans.
