I'd avoid planting anything tender out yet, partly because it IS too early, and also because next week is going to be chilly and frosts are likely, even down here,
Have started some runner beans indoors to grow in pots with wigwams but they are about 12ins long with 1 yellow leaf at the top is this normal or should I start some more but this time not covered under newspaper to reduce the light.
ooooohh aaaarrrrhhhh........!!!
When I grow them and if you start again I always put the beans I'm going to plant in a shallow tray of water just until the shoot, then transfer them to pots or ground. This seems to work wonders and since doing this for about 4 years now I've never had a fail.
Sounds like your existing beans are doing fine. Give it a few weeks and they'll be roaring I would say.
They have come on leaps and bounds in the last few days so am considering planting them out tomorrow if it is not too cold. The forecast is for a heatwave next week I think
Is that the Weald Allotments?
