Growing Lazy Housewife Runner Beans

• Make a stable construction on which the plants can climb.
• Runner beans are usually sowed with multiple seeds at one pole.
• Because of the strong growth it is best to sow two or three seeds per pole.
• Mulch between rows to conserve water – and reduce weeds.
• On hot days, prevent vegetables from wilting by watering early in the morning, and if necessary again in the late afternoon.
• Beans mature quickly and are ready to harvest 8 to 10 weeks after planting.
• Sow at regular intervals to prolong the harvest.
