Runner Bean Enorma Plants
Very aptly named - the beans really are big but, picked regularly as they mature, still remain crisp and tender.
If you need some prize winning runner beans to enter in your local produce show, this is the one to grow.
A heavy cropper, the beans are full of flavour and retain their colour well when cooked.
Mid May despatch for picking from July onwards.

Support
As runner beans climb, they will need support. A frame of canes and strong netting is ideal, or the beans can be grown up wigwams of sticks or canes, where they become a decorative feature in the garden.
Ensure any structure is at least 180cm (6ft) high. Plants will climb and twine naturally as they grow.
Aftercare
Runner beans require plenty of water to produce a good crop. Water generously in dry spells. When plants are in full flower, an occasional mid-day spraying with a fine hose encourages flower set and bean production.
Runner beans are generally disease and trouble free. They thrive in a sunny position which is not exposed to cold winds.
Harvest
Pick beans when they are young and tender. This encourages plants to remain productive longer.
Special note
Runner beans freeze well. Simply slice, blanch them in boiling water for a minute or two, drain, allow to cool, then bag them for the freezer.
