Looks like dry set to me, give the plants a GOOD soak, and I don't
mean a can of water along a 10 ft row, you want enough water to go
down about 12 inches into the ground, about 2 gallons every foot or
so, you may have to go over the ground a few times in an hour to get
enough water down, then a good soak every 3 or 4 days, they don't
like dry roots. Even with the rain we have been having in South
Wales I am still watering my beans.

That's interesting. I haven't watered my runners in weeks, mainly as I
didn't think they'd need it. Anyway, they're giving a decent enough
crop at the moment, so it can't be too bad!
