I dug up a few scarlet runner root balls for storage; apparently you can keep them over winter to get a head start.


Yes, I only recently learned they were perennial. A man by the name of Glenn Riley (Port Angeles, WA) once grew around 60 different kinds of beans, and the scarlet runners out-produced all of them.

They could be a good addition to the 'invisible' food garden. People would think nothing that pretty could be edible.
