Sow runner bean seed indoors from mid-April for transplanting later on, or direct sow outdoors from late May to early July. Indoors, sow seed at a depth of 5cm 2 inches in 7.5cm 3inches pots or trays of free-draining, seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 1820C 6468F until germination which takes 710 days. Alternatively direct sow runner beans outdoors at a depth of 5cm 2 inches and a distance of 30cm 12 inches apart. Plant runner beans in rows that are 1.5m 5 apart, or where space is limited, grow beans onto a wigwam structure. When growing runner beans provide a thick mulch of organic matter around the base of the plants to help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. Water runner beans regularly, particularly as the flowers develop, and provide a liquid feed every 14 days during midsummer. Pinch out the tips of the beans when they reach the top of their supports.
