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.

Unless you like to eat nasturtiums. I believe they are edible?
:-)
Yes. They are peppery and are good in salads. I believe the
Elizabethans loved to decorate their food with flowers. I am not
surprised - they add a bit of colour and interest
