Hi,

The runner beans that I sowed in jiffy pots have all gone rotten,
obviously
I kept them too damp in the greenhouse. I re-sowed a fresh lot at least
twelve days ago keeping them drier and still they refuse to germinate. Am
I
sowing too early, or would it be better to wait for warmer weather, sow in
the open ground and pick later maturing beans?

They're not that keen on being waterlogged. I would sow direct into the soil
in a period forecast not to be too wet. Depending where you are I would give
them at least a couple of weeks yet.
