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

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!

Mine are in abundant flower, but too early for the beans. How do people
get them so early? Perhaps they live in the effete South.;-)
