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.

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.

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.
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.
