This year I am growing some vegetables in pots and am trying some beans called Hestia - they are not supposed to need supporting, but they look fairly leggy to me...has anyone else tried them, or anything similar ?

Hello RH we grew dwarf runners last year, they would be ok for a pot without staking as long as it is pretty sheltered. They are good cropers and loads for the freezer.
Best of luck.

Longitudinally challenged runner beans?
Problem with growing vegetables in a pot is the watering. Round here, with this heat, I'm watering rather a lot (I do have a well, which has not yet dried up).

Then I refer you to the company that sells them - I'm sure they will be interested in your perspective

The rest of my garden is covered with gravel and a weed supressing membrane, it's a small garden and I'm not that keen on looking at a veg plot, year round, but we keep the veg pots near the house so watering is easy.
I think the correct PC description is BORG's, beans of restricted growth!!!!!!
