runner beans with strawberrys

Hereford, United Kingdom Gb

Hi all, ive just planted my runner beans out in a big big buckets,in a tee pee sort of style and was wondering how a strawberry plant would do in the middle,only reason i ask is because i know its not good to plant toms and strawberrys together because they attract eachothers enemys so to speak, thanks for any help

If you've put your strawberry plant in amongst the runner beans it will get smothered by the bean foliage. Strawberries need plenty of light.

no i havent put it in there as of yet, i wanted to see what people thought first, just its pot bound and thought it would save a pot, ill just get a bigger pot instead of risking it, cheers Bigbumblebee

i grow sweet peas with mine as they encourage pollinators in for my beans too.

with sweet peas do you actually get a pea from them or is it just flowers,i love the flowers but what are they, as in perennials or something you have to plant year after year

i grow annual sweetpeas and i remove spent flowers all the time. the peas you get are not edible. i leave the ;ast few flowers on to get free seed for next year.

is it too late to start growing sweet peas. They have a lovley flower. when do you plant them?

ive seen them around as plugs in shops etc so id imagine its still ok to grow them, will they climb a trellis? where my clematis seemed to die off is looking empty so thought maybe i could grow sweet peas up it instead

its too late to grow sweetpeas from seed now. buy plug plants and plant now. and yes they will climb a trellis no trouble.
