They may be available fresh in some cities with a large Italian population, but not here,,,if you want some you have to grow them yourself.

Here's a link:

We planted our runner beans today and have bedding plants ready to go out.

No I have just done my baskets but they are not out yet and my dad has some runner beans which are now about 6" on the windowsil and growing like the clappers, I also have some other various seedlings, some which i'm still waiting to germinate. Some are quite slow to go anyway but have found they are taking their time on the windowsil this year, in two minds if to put them in the airing cupboard or not to start them off. The weather has been a bit weird with 2 really hot sunny days then back to having the heating on so i'm just waiting before putting the ones ready to go out incase we get a frost, have the pots all over the bloomin' kitchen in the new house mind and the baskets in the shed on the windowsil and it's worse as I have double with doing more ready for the new garden and some for my dad's.

my bigger plants went out a few weeks ago and have all done fine, baskets have been done for about 2 weeks but only today went up (needed new hooks) they have been hagging on the line since i done them mind and are fine and starting to flower nice,

smaller plants that i only put to seed in march will be going out in the next few days but im glad i weighted now cos we have a frost tonight so i dont think the smaller plants would live though it
