After a few days your bean should start to sprout roots. This is called germination. Then, the bean will start to grow a stem too. The stem should grow upwards, as it looks for the light. After about ten days your bean seed should have grown a bigger stem and some leaves. It is now a little bean plant. To make sure it keeps growing and stays healthy, carefully take it out of the jar and plant it in a large pot with some soil. You can keep you pot inside during the winter, or outside during the summer.
Runner bean seeds have a high germination rate of 85%, and for this reason should be sown thinly, one seed every 15cm (6in), to be thinned out to a final spacing of one seedling every 30cm (1ft) about 3 weeks after sowing.unner Beans can be given a head start (about four weeks) by sowing them inside and / or under cloches-click here for more detailed information. Simply place the poly-tunnel in position two weeks before sowing (to warm up the soil), then sow the seed three or four weeks earlier than normal.
