Has anyone any idea what could be causing this?? appreciate any
advice!

Thanks for all your answers and advice, I will try everything suggested!
except the bees of course, only MN can do that. ;-)

I have been using a sprinkler system in my veg patch for years and we
always have a good crop of French and broad beans (don't like
runners). It is interesting to hear that this may have helped
germination. Mind you there is no apparent shortage of bees around us
in south Warwickshire.
