  1. Get growing. I start my runner beans off indoors in late April on my sunny kitchen windowsill. I sow in individual 9cm (3½in) biodegradable fibre pots in peat-free multi-purpose compost. I place one bean directly in the centre, 5cm (2in) deep and keep the compost moist. The seeds will germinate and grow in just a week or two.

  2. Sow one bean into the centre, 5cm (2in) deep, and water well. Keep in a warm, bright place, at over 12°C (54°F). Seedlings will grow rapidly and need watering regularly. The young plants can be moved outside once all risk of frost has passed, usually in late May or early June – see Planting out, below.

  3. Runner beans need a strong support, such a wigwam. Use four or more canes, up to 3m long, and push the end of each one firmly into the soil in a circle, spacing them evenly. Tie all the tops of the canes together to form a wigwam. Then plant one runner bean at the base of each cane. As the plants grow, help them to get a good grip by tying new ...

  4. Sowing runner beans indoors. Fill small pots with multipurpose compost. With a dibber or pencil, make a hole 5cm (2in) deep in the compost and drop in a bean seed. Plant one seed per pot and sow a few extra pots in case seeds fail to germinate or young plants are eaten by slugs and snails. Cover over with compost and firm it down gently.

  5. May 22, 2012 · 7. Pinch out. When the runners reach the top of the canes, pinch out the tops (this means cutting the very tip off). This will encourage the plant to send out more shoots – and beans – below. 8. Pick. Pick, pick, pick. It’s very important to keep picking running beans – as this encourages the plant to grow more.

  6. May 24, 2021 · To do this, simply pot the seedlings on into a 9cm pot, leave them outside during the day in a bright sunny spot then cover them with horticultural fleece or bring them in at night. Do this for a fortnight or so until the frosts in your area have finished. Beans prefer to grow in moist, fertile soil, in a sunny, sheltered spot.

  8. May 14, 2019 · Step 3. Planting out runner beans. Water the plants thoroughly before planting out. Erect a wigwam of bamboo canes or sticks over well-prepared soil. Using a trowel, dig a hole at the base of each cane and set plants with the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil. Fill around the roots with soil and firm the plant in, using your ...
