Default Greenhouse Runner Beans


"Therefore" wrote in message ...
Having trouble with my runners ; they are a white self pollinating variety
growing extremely well with masses of flowers. These unfortunately are not
setting and are falling off. The house is well ventillated at all times with
doors and vents open fully. the roots are kept moist not sopping and other
plants are also growing well. when I have similar problems outside I watered
with a strong lime mix which helped ; not to keen to use this method in the
house.

You might do better with climbing french beans under glass. I grow the very old variety 'Caseknife' and trying this year
a newish one 'Algarve' which seems to be doing OK. In any case spray over the plants as often as you can while watering.
