Hi,

This years runner bean crop was especially bad for us as the flowers for the
first 4ft of height fell off and failed to set.

Thought it was down to the wind but not so sure.

Anything particular which can be done to prevent the same happening next
year?

Thanks,

Ours have been very good------------I tried them in a long container
up against a fence to see what would happen and I have had to crop
daily to keep up with the growth! We certainly have had a good summer
here in the West of Sotland, not the searing heat and dryness of "down
south" and have watered daily as well and fed with tomorite.
