self supporting variety - the easiest to grow. If you click the picture to
enlarge it, you will see we have given them minimal support from old
raspberry canes. But even without this they will still support themselves
well.
Why go to all the trouble of tall growing runner beans when you can have a
huge tasty crop from these? |
