Default re Runner Beans.

Having read various 'threads' about which variety to purchase . Over
the last 5 years I have never bought packets of beans. I have quite a
number of varieties growing and I decide which is the best flavour and
type to grow for the following year and save some . I leave the pods
until they are large and brown and ready for saving.
By this method I get the best.
Despite watering frequently I am now finding that some 'beans' having
grown to about two inches in length are dropping off.?
Despite this I have a very good crop and it looks like 'beans' for a
lot of meals or freezing some (which I am not keen on)
(This year I have also had a bumper crop of raspberries)
Peter.
