Yes, it is normal for Piękny Jaś to have more than one stem. Other runner beans also grow this way. Often two stems grew from the seed.

@Artorius Is it common for Piekny Jas to have so many stems coming up like this from one plant? When I grew Sadie's Horse Bean last year I don't think I paid much attention to the growth habit in this way. Also, some of the plants have 2 twining growth tips instead of one. I wonder if the heat wave we had burned the tips a little, and that doubled the growth tips? I noticed on a few plants some of the growth tips had browned and dried up.

The only time I've observed this in runner beans was when the first sprout was damaged somehow. All of my Piekny Jas seedlings this year formed a single shoot.

I checked all my other plants this afternoon, only one of them had those multiple stems. I didn't observe it suffer any damage...but it does also have two twining growth tips, which is a sign it either got pruned, or did get damaged. I wonder if it was the hot spells we've had. Some of the tips looked burned.

That is a good-looking bed @Bluejay77 , I can appreciate the amount of work that went into it. How many different plots to you have?

I think these shoots are growing from buds between the main shoot and the cotyledons that are in the ground.

I guess I would have to say I have three different areas where I grow beans. This deer fenced in area has the two 960 square foot raised beds about 9.5 miles from my house. Then there is the one large plot 3 miles from house with the pole beans that is 2,214 square feet. Then I have about a 242 square foot bed in my backyard and the 160 square foot flowerbed on the south side of my house. There is a 46 square foot flowerbed in the back of my house that I'm growing tomatoes in this year and I also have in my backyard a smaller 150 square foot bed that I have tomatoes in this year too.

as of a bit ago all the gardens inside the fence are planted with beans and watered. hope we get some rains though. now i only have the two unfenced gardens to plant with beans. depending upon the weather it might take me two or three days to get them planted. we'll see how it goes. rain in the forecast every day this week now.

Today I got a better look at my runner beans and found new shoots growing out of the ground even though the main shoots are undamaged.
