WISLEY MAGIC RUNNER BEANS

Although I really don't have any space for runner beans, I cannot resist planting some Wisley Magic to go along the south-facing fence amid the roses, jasmine and clematis.  For me, the bright red flowers are magic (the bees think so too) and the beans are simply a bonus.  The beans can be planted outdoors here in the UK late April or May but the weather here in West Yorkshire, high on the Pennines, is so mercurial (it tried to snow again yesterday) that I have sown some in pots for transplanting later.  I'll find a space for them somewhere.
