   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.

   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.

   Runner beans are pretty problem free once they are well established. However, the young plants are a magnet for slugs and snails, so you really need to be on your guard. Starting them off indoors helps, as hopefully your windowsill or porch is pretty pest free, but once they are out in the garden, they are fair game. If snails are a problem, get ah...

   Black bean aphids or blackfly attack the tender shoots of many bean crops in the garden. The best approach is vigilance – keep checking the new growth for infestation of these tiny black bugs and squash them mercilessly. There is a theory that squashed aphids emit a pheromone that deter more adults from laying their eggs in the area. It certainly s...

   Runner bean rust is a fungal infection that appears in the shape of dark brown pustules on the underside of the leaves. It is prevalent in warm moist conditions, so try to avoid wetting the leaves when watering. Remove and destroy any affected leaves.

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 ...

   How long do runner beans take to grow?

   • Runner beans are ready to pick 12 to 16 weeks after sowing. The bean pods are at their most tender at 15-20cm long – any longer and they become stringy. Regular picking encourages the plants to produce more flowers, and therefore more young beans. Don't leave old beans on the plants as this will stop the plants flowering. Runner beans freeze well.
