I planted 12 small pots and in no time they looked like this...
Now, as the French do, I utilised a spare wheelbarrow hub to make a simple climbing frame. 12 stakes and some strong cord completed the frame.
The circle was dug out and filled with compost with a dusting of soil ready for planting..
All planted up.
and a few days later...
Will we get beans? Watch this space...

Looks great Colin...but that hub doesn't look recycled!
Jim well spotted it is new... BUT it was cheaper to buy a complete wheel from Bricodepot than just a tube and tyre... The hub was unfortunately completely wrong for our barrow!! We blogged about it somewhere!
You can buy runner bean seeds here, but mainly as an ornamental - they need humidity to set so unless you keep spraying them with water you don't get beans! I grow a variety called Moonlight which is actually a runner/french bean cross and doesn;t need spraying. Tastes like a proper runner bean too! P.
Why you grow your beans upside down?? Tim
