What do I do with this?

Hi all. Ds and dd returned from a school trip having planted some seeds. They told me they were beans. They have really taken off and I’m not sure what type of bean they are and what I should do with them? Do I need a cane for them to grow up etc? Any advice much appreciated! 🙈

That looks like a runner bean to me so yes, it will want a cane to wind itself about.
I'd just stick 3 bamboo canes tied in a tepee shape in the ground and put it in the middle. It should 'find' one of the poles itself and start climbing it

@GwenPost thanks so much for this. I have two plants, can I plant both beneath one “teepee”? Thanks.

You dont want them too close together. so if space permits about a foot apart and the tepee legs not too far from the beans. They will put out side shoots as they grow so dont worry if it looks a bit sparse to begin with.
