French Bean

French Bean


The variety I'm growing is Cobra which is a climbing french variety.

I bought the packet of Johnsons seeds 2 years ago for 4.15 euros.
There were 75 in the packet and according to the back must be sown by 2010 so they are a year out of date but the 8 I have sown in pots this year have all come up.

I grew 3 plants last year and had more than we could eat and ended up freezing loads. I saved 4 seeds from a pod I let grow to full size and planted them this year as well. As you can see from the photo they are doing well. There is a small 3 ft by 3ft plot in the allotment I am going to use to grow them on complete with wigwam supports. Have to wait till May to plant them out.
