The experts will say it's the high July temps, however my polytunnel crop
sown at the same time as the outdoor ones have been fantastic and are
still on the go whilst the outdoor crop allways looked poor (French
climbing beans)

I tend to agree with the prolonged high temerature and low humidity/water
theory. I had a couple of feeds of my runner plants, then nothing, now they
are looking good and flowering again and I suppose there is still time for a
crop. French climbers are ok but not as good as previous years.
