Keep the pots on a sunny windowsill, in a propagator, or in a greenhouse at a minimum temperature of 12°C. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardening Off \/ Planting Out\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAcclimatize young plants to outdoor conditions gradually over 2–3 weeks before planting out from late May onwards, after frost risk has passed. Provide support with canes, placed in situ and tied together before sowing. Canes may be arranged in double rows, sloping inwards, 15 cm apart, or in a 'wigwam' structure. Alternatively, use a container at least 75 cm in diameter. Plants will climb and twine naturally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSow Outdoors\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSow direct, 5 cm deep, in the desired harvest position next to a cane support or in a large container once frost risk has passed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAftercare\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRunner beans require plenty of water for a good crop. Water generously in dry spells. When plants are in full flower, an occasional mid-day spray with a fine hose encourages flower set and bean production. They are generally disease-free and thrive in sunny, sheltered positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdvice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil should be well-manured before planting. Runner bean seeds are sensitive to cold, wet soils and will not germinate in poor conditions. Pick pods young for best flavour. Surplus crops can be frozen: slice and blanch for 2 minutes, drain, cool, and bag for freezing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unwins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54989200949633,"sku":"WEST-31210103","price":2.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0544\/8758\/0845\/files\/01zu2lcx5sm.jpg?v=1763474278","url":"https:\/\/www.direct4pet.co.uk\/products\/runner-bean-white-lady","provider":"Direct 4 Pet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
