I am a recent convert to gardening and very pleased with my first sowings
which have been pretty successful thanks to some help from this site.My only
failure was with my runner beans which gave up the struggle after they had
got to about 6 to 8 inches high.When I checked them out the roots had a
white powder on them - any ideas? I have put in plants and they are doing
well so far. Also I would like to know what "damping off" is, as this is
apparently something I must prevent !
