    Months ago I planted 20 runner beans, as I have done for several years.
    Nothing...not one single bean appeared.
    So, I planted 20 more, and once again nothing at all appeared.
    Went to the glass jar I kept the saved beans in and then spotted a piece of paper which says "cooking beans'
    It was then I released MOH needed some beans for blind baking and it was decided to use these in the jar and get fresh for planting....

    I had planted beans that had been in the oven at 180C
    Outcome is theres now runner beans this years.....

    Methinks I need some new grey matter......

                Write the scenario out as a "What not to do with Beans" information leaflet and publish it as a "Pay per click" advice document - You could make a few quid!:oops:
