Beans: How to grow

Beans: How to grow - Telegraph:

 "earliest sowing date outside for French beans is May 15. To speed things up, I put both runner and French beans on a damp kitchen towel in my warm kitchen and keep it moist. After a few days, the seeds swell before producing a tiny shoot. I then sow these in the ground (about two inches deep) or in polystyrene plant modules in a cold frame.
They sit outside my sunny, sheltered back door for about five days before they are finally planted out next to the canes.
 'Celebration', a rosy-pink flowered variety from Thompson & Morgan - are the most decorative varieties"
PS
We planted our beans outside straight into the ground today, we did the same last year and had no problems.
