Re: Runner Beans (Phaseolus coccineus) - digging-up and storing

Umm... If one digs up Runner Beans at the end of their season and stores


over the winter, do the plants


retain their vigour. I do not know of any gardeners who treat Runners as

perennial. I have only


read about the practice. I am curious to hear from anyone who treats

Runners as perennial.

Sounds like you live in a cold area because down here in Plymouth they will keep quite nicely if you leave them where they are, in the ground
