can i grow cannellino beans in england?

Hi Beanie - I checked my RHS book and that doesn't even mention cannellini beans (that's the spelling BTW). I googled it and came up with this site - http://www.vegetableexpert.co.uk/GrowingBeans.html :- said about cannellinis “You can even plant packaged dried beans from the supermarket, a very inexpensive way to buy seed!” but the site didn't give much specifics about cannellinis. Sorry, this is all I could come up with. Hope it helps.

Why not just try them! They can decide for themselves! You would have to treat them like any other bean and keep them frost free then lots of sun and give the pods time to dry before harvesting. We grew Borlotti beans last year and managed to get beans from them but didn't succeed this year.

Yes-I certainly will give it a go! I feel the pioneer spirit. Thanks sid & volunteer for your advice & encouragement. It says cannellino beans on the packet I think there is more than one name for them.

Go Beanie! ha ha - good luck with it :-) Re the spelling - I had no idea how to spell it, but I put your spelling into Google and it came back saying "Did you mean Cannellini?" my spelling's rubbish.... x-D
