I recently sowed runner beans, some indoors in warmth, and some outdoors
in
pots. However, none of them have germinated -- some have rotted and
turned
mouldy, and some are still sitting there doing nothing at all. My
mangetout
sowed at the same time are doing really well. I thought runner beans
were
easy to grow, so what might I have done wrong?

I have never sown them in pots either indoors or out as I have no
germination problems with sowing them in the garden. My guess would be
that either they were drastically over-watered, or possibly the pots or
growing medium used
were infected with some fungus?
