Here are some pictures taken over the course of the runner bean growing and eating season. I hope they help you to identify what you are growing as they grow and when they are ready to harvest as well as what you can do to support your crop as it grows. Please note that most growers use 8 foot bamboo canes however with a little imagination you can use almost anything as long as the finished structure is tall .
