Getting Started

Sometimes the hardest part of anything you do is getting started. Not because you are lazy but because you do not know where to start.

If I had a pound for every time I thought to myself "where do I start" then I would be quite wealthy.

On this page I am going to give you some questions you need to ask yourself so you can be in a position to get started.

Ok lets go...

Where am I going to grow my beans?

• Do I have an allotment or a vegetable patch?

• Will I grow them up the fence planted in the flower bed?

• Will I grow them in grow bags on the patio or in the back yard?

• Can I even use grow bags or pots?

Check out the soil and position page.

Why grow runner beans?

• For the flowers?

• For the beans?

• For the fun of it?

Only you can answer this question.

What variety will be best for my situation?

• Are there fast growing varieties?

• Are some prettier than others?

• Will some produce more beans?

• Do they all have red flowers?

Check out the varieties page.

When can i get started?

• What time of year do I start?

• What is a poly tunnel?
