Climbing French beans are delicious and easy to grow. With the use of wigwams to allow the plants to grow upwards you will maximise the use of vertical space making them particularly useful in small gardens. Just a few plants will give you a reliable crop. They are ideal for anyone who does not like the stringy bits in runner beans!
