Your runner beans are flying it John. Cant believe they're flowering already. When did you sow those?

great to see the flowers on that John, was examining my tomato plants this evening and I see the beginnings of a flower bud! Give me hope for greater things!

I always love the colour of flowers from runner beans. They look healthy, John.

Are these outside John? Ours are not nearly as far advanced :( They are wonderful - worth growing fro the flower alone!

With that stunning colour would look great in a flower bed.

Super runner beans.  I only started hardening mine off today.  They are getting too big for their pots so badly need to be planted out.

Thanks Liam.The runners were planted out in the tunnel on the 13of April. Started a month previous under indoor cover.

Long may the hope for greater things live Myrtle.

Thanks Jacinta.We need plenty of sunshine to make those colours last.

They are in the tunnel Monica.With the Runner beans [Phaseolus coccineus] being tender,they would fight an uphill battle for colour with the weather.Hopefully that will all change this week,thanks.We need weeks off it.

Colour add so much to gardening Cloncaw.Some pottaging [mix of flowers and veg] really come to life on a sunny day,thanks.

Thanks Muddy Wellies.I had hoped to move some of them out,before now.All going well this week,will tell the tale.Good luck with the Runner beans you have for planting out.
