    I planted my runners very late, they are cropping well-sorry! I had already enjoyed bumper crops of climbing French beans.  If you have space it pays to hege your bets,  I  have said before I always plant both now, that way you get something whichever way the season goes.

    I planted both. The deer preferred the french, when they had gone she had the lower leaves off the runners. She has also had the rows of gladioli I put in for cutting.

    Because of the risk of late frosts I always plant mine late too but, consequently, mine have lots of flowers but I know they won't do anything. I'll concentrate on climbing French beans next year. I know that they freeze well.

    Huh, hostafan. Temperature dropped to 7C here last night, and I was woken by the central heating coming on for the first time since the spring.

    That's scary. I've left the doors on the polytunnels wide open
