Excellent: thanks to all for interesting replies.

I must be doing something right: the first one is at the top of the cane:
nearly ready to pinch out the top: and a number have got their first flowers.
I have planted alternate Red Rum and Moonlight: so hoping for a colourful red
and white "wall" before the beans are ready.

Hi Judith,
Well we're in Lincolnshire, this is our first try of growing Runner Beans, so it's very hit or miss. Sooo - 4 large tubs, 3 canes per tub, 3 RB plants. Suddenly started to take off this week - it has been sunny, and they get that virtually all day long. Uploaded 2 images. I've been feeding them Tomato feed once a week. So - if Flowers mean Beans, then it's working for me!
