These are a couple of last years Runner Bean tubers (Armstrong variety) supposed to be good tasting, well not sure if they were any better than any other to be honest. They were in the ground all through the winter just under old ferret straw bedding, dug them up thinking they would be dead but looked okay. So put them in some damp peat in the green house and they have started to shoot and if you see there are seven or eight shoots not just the one you get from a new bean. Trouble is put in all new seed and their doing well, just have to slot a few in between and try and give the rest away.
