How to Sow
- For cell trays or pots, add compost and create large holes at least 2-3 inches deep in each cell or pot
- Sow 2-3 seeds per cell or pot and cover with compost, pat down to firm and water
- After about 5 weeks the seedlings will be ready to transplant outside
- Give the seedlings a generous watering once planted to settle the soil
Plant Care
- You will need to build a frame for the runner beans to climb up. This could be in a vertical/horizontal structure, a tipi style, or an X-frame
- For each vertical, plant a seedling runner bean so it has space to grow upwards
- Hand weed the area and continue to water during dry spells. The plants will climb up the bamboo canes without any intervention
AllotMe’s Tips
- For each crimson red flowers that appear, a runner bean pod will emerge shortly after (approx. 2 weeks)
- Instead of using a bamboo cane frame, you can also pin a polythene bean netting between two posts and allow the climbers to weave up it
