french beans started flowering early....

hello,

I have a querry regarding dwarf bean as this is my first year in london, I am unexperience of climate and beans production in my garden. My french beans(drawf variety) are now 10"-14" in height and are very small. It started flowering, white color today. I am wondering this will effect the plant growth and further beans production. Kindly advice if i need to prune/remove first flower now? so that plant growth is focused now and fruits later.

thanks in advance

Hiya.

10"-14" is pretty much about right for dwarf French Beans to start producing flowers. Your plants are fine, leave the flowers on Your first beans aren't far away, but if you want some later in the year, it's best to sow another batch sometime soon

 

Hi Ooshmi, I'm in London too and my climbing french beans have started flowering too.

Once the beans start producing be sure to pick often, this will encourage further flowering/beans.
