I’m picking out a few of your recommendations to grow along never had much success with beans .. is there a yellow climbing or dwarf bean you’d recommend , I tried growing dior last year but it didn’t produce many and the flavour wasn’t anything special! Thank you so much for your posts. I am determined this year will be my year for growing veg!
Hi Sarah, that's brilliant - I really hope you get more success this year, let me know if there's anything you're stumped by and I'll see if I can help you out. I have also found yellow climbing and dwarf beans have been a bit disappointing - funnily enough it's the same with yellow courgettes, I think it must be because the gene that makes a fruit yellow is a weak gene so the resulting plant isn't that vigorous. However - I am planning to grow Eastern Butterwax beans this year which are yellow, so let's see if I have more success with those. If not, I'm giving up on these highly-bred yellow versions - not worth the effort!
Thank you so much Sally, yes yellow courgettes have proven difficult too, so pleased it’s just not me . Always feel should grow something different that can’t buy in the shop , but maybe should stick to varieties that do well so can get a good organic crop and not be disappointed Thank you for taking time to reply and for your posts.
