Climbing French Beans in September (and not before)
I normally sow my Climbing Fr Beans in early April and plant out in early
May and pick from July. This year I don't want them ready until September. When should I sow them? My guess is around late June? - out doors. (I have sowed them mid-July and planted them in my polytunnel and picked during Oct/Nov) |

I brought back some Divinel (from Vilmorin). I never plant out but straight sow from late april to july. So you can sow them in July if you want and you'll harvest till October. |

He plants them on the day that he leaves and when we return, we eat them until the frosts get them. HTH Judith at home |

I think as I was struggling to get a crop in the poly from mid-July sown, I'll try early July - many thanks. |
