Phaseolus coccineus

First little batch 😋💚

@KelsiBriana thanks Kelsi ☺️ I’m hoping they taste as good 😋

@gjones yellow beans 💛 I look forward to seeing those 😁 I was wondering if I’d picked a couple too early but the proof will be in the tasting 😉

Do these look big enough to pick? 🤔 (please excuse the sun-crisped leaves 🙈)

@kez001uk getting there they look nice I’d give it a couple off more days

I agree with mark , can you feel the beans insides ?

@johnmark @Hayley.R thank you both 😁 you can feel the beans but not feeling very big yet. I’ll give them the weekend and check again. Appreciate the help ☺️☺️☺️

Once they start they don’t stop, and you wait till you got some that are over a foot long 😂 @kez001uk

@Hayley.R oh god, sound like a bean version of courgettes! 🤣🤣🤣

Just starting to pick some now too. The rain will help. They look good 👌

@jeatacake some of us aren’t blessed with rain Jeff 😉😉😂 just doing deadheading and tidied these up. Thought there was only a few but there’s loads of baby beans 😃

They were shrivelling up here & flowers dropping off, but got a few pods. Mind you, these have had extra water, otherwise they'd all be dead by now 😯

@jeatacake I hope you get a decent harvest from them still ☺️ with any luck the worst of the sun is over with now. I am being very optimistic here 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers Kerry. Some American ones are doing well, but maybe the un-British weather is the reason!

@jeatacake it’s anything but typical! Tropical more like 🌴

Sun singed leaves but beans are looking good

I have beans!!! 🤗

Flowers all over the vines now. Do the beans follow flowering? Never grown runner beans before so a big bit clueless 😳

@gjones thank you 😊 the flowers are so pretty I think I’d grow them regardless of the beans 🤣

Never grown runner beans before so assuming this is the start of a flower 😜

Mine are still trying to reach the top ( squirrel keeps digging them up 😩).... you will see your veg very soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@Hayley.R squirrels are adorable little sods 😂 they’re very fast growing aren’t they! Didn’t expect them to shoot up in a matter of weeks! I really need to read up on growing veg 🙈
