It is too early for sowing runner beans in a greenhouse for later
transplanting into garden?

No. I sowed mine last weekend. Also french beans.
Enjoy.

Of course I'm assuming you're not above the arctic circle or anything :-))

Depends where you live. They can't go outside until there's no danger of
frost, so if you live in the north it may be a little early, but in more
southern areas you'll be fine. Runners aren't the kind of thing you can keep
indoors for long once they get going, as they quickly become a tangled mess
if they don't get support! Mine usually take about 4 weeks from sowing to
get to the 'too big' stage

For information, I kept my runner bean roots from last year and stored them
in some dry soil in my greenhouse. I started to water them a couple of weeks
ago and now there are signs that they are stirring into life. The good thing
is they
don't instantly become covered in mould the instant you pot them, as seems
to
happen with the beans,
