And the rest of us in the frozen north (instead of sunny verdunland)have only just put the seeds in. Don't worry folks, still plenty of time to plant seeds and get a good harvest. My broad beans at getting a good set of pods though.
As a novice sowing and planting too early last year I have just bought tomatoe plants and runner bean plants to plant this weekend. I was shocked at the prices !!! What seeds can I sow at the moment to be more economical and still get some produce this year. I dont have a greenhouse and my garden is shaded a lot of the time by a mature Ash tree

Do you know what runner bean you will be growing this year?
Anybody been and got their seeds already?
I usually grow White Lady, bees like it, weather resistant - as far as anything can be - including drought. Good flavour attractive to look at.
Seeds already in for all veggies - made use of before Christmas discounts.
Scarlet Emperor is always a good bet for runner beans
White Lady for me every time.
I had moonlight and firestorm last year. I'm only growing the moonlight this year,and climbing French bean, sultana.

Last year I tried to grow White Lady with not much luck. This year am giving Moonlight a go. So far growth looks OK
Also broad beans The Sutton seem to have loads of pods this year
