Growing French beans in the UK

I don't grow runner beans! Why would you, when French beans are so much tastier, easier to deal with, and smoother? French beans can be dwarf or climbing - make sure you know which you are sowing, and label your pots - as seedlings, they all look the same! Dwarf beans are faster to produce pods, and climbers take longer, but are more prolific and easier to pick - I grow both - dwarf beans at the beginning and end of the season, and climbing in the middle. Beware of buying bean plants in garden centres in spring! Aside from the environmental impact of their (often polystyrene) trays and transport, they often sell them very early, from greenhouse production, meaning that when you get home and plant them in the garden, they are reduced to a slimy mess by frost. it is so much better to raise your own, either in pots or directly in the soil. All beans are hungry and thirsty plants, so they thrive in a really well composted bed, which will both feed them, and retain water. I don't fertilise other than with compost or compost teas, but I do water in dry patches, with rainwater from our giant rainwater collection tank. Tap water will do no harm, however.
