Funnily enough my cupidons will be ready in about a week after being sown 12th May. Small beans already formed. They did sit idle for 10 days after transplanting, possibly root bound, until I gave them a dose of liquid seaweed, which fired them away, so I do think a dwarf harvest in late June/early July is realistic.
Sadly, runners have not been setting well with the heat, so I have taken to spraying the flowers each evening to try and cool them down. There are about 10 set, which is rather pathetic for 16 plants!
