I first grew runner beans about 8 years ago. At the time, I was having a cool Spring/cool early Summer. Lady Di grew like a weed and eventually had a vine about 12 feet long. It was a very high yielder and the beans were good. I tried several times after that and they hardly did squat in the warmer weather. You are at the mercy of the weather growing runners...a real flip of the coin.
