Runner beans

Hello, my runner beans are about 8 inches high in modules in the greenhouse. Is it too early to put them out? They have out grown their little pots.

 

hi Paula
i dont know where you live and this can make a difference,
where i am in west wales is quite mild but there is still a chance on frost so i wouldnt chance it, unless you can plant out and enclose or cover them (fleece, plastic, glass) but even then there is still a chance you would lose them, mine i have just potted on and put them in the coldframe for now and they seem happy enough

these are some that i potted on​

yesturday but havent moved to coldframe yet due to lack of space lol​

hope this helps

If they have GOT to go out then there is nothing you can do. However, just stick in 2 foot sticks to help them get started and the plastic / fleece is easier to drape over than an 8 foot cane which can be stuffed in later. Cheers, Tony.
