This last week most of my beans (red rum and also French climbing
beans) have unwound themselves.

I can only feel very slight sympathy, the slugs or snails killed all
mine.
;-)

They started on mine but I managed to rescue most of them. However,
as a result, they have become rather slow in shooting along the
sticks. Can't have everything. I read somewhere that you should put
nasturtiums amongst them as slugs prefer them to most other plants
but as I like to grow nasturtiums too, I can't see the point of that.
They love Marigolds!

For the last two years I have used slug nematodes on the garden. I've hardly seen any slugs in that time. I gather that some people have had no luck getting this to work. I cant help with that - I just follow the instructions.
