Hello,

I'm trying to grow dwarf french beans in a pot. It's flowering quite a bit, and I've put a pot of dwarf sweet peas by it to encourage pollinators. The leaves are looking a bit sad though, and I'm wondering how long before I can tell if the flowers are actually going to go to seed.

There are a few of a certain kind of bug hanging out on the plant, and I'm wondering if they're helping by predating on pests or if they are themselves pests..I'd be grateful if you could look at the photos below
