Curved runner beans

GillyLGillyL Posts: 1,077

Why is it that so many of my runner beans this year are curved?.

 I have had the odd short bean curved before,but never a full length bean curving around like a boomerang.The beans are Red  Emperor ,and the crop has been enormous.

  • lol mine were Scarlet Emporer and were just the same!! I blame the sweetpeas they were growing with (bad influences lol) image

  • Mine seem to get caught up in the leaves & stems when they're young & so become curved.

    On a different note does anyone else get a rash on their arms when picking the beans & know why? I do wear long rubber gloves but they still seem to get a rash.

    I get a lot of curly beans, the good news is they don't taste any different from the straight ones when cookedimage
