Default Another "why aren't my...." question - beans

This year I grew four sorts of beans. White and red kidney beans, french
beans and runners. The white, red and runner pods have dried beautifully
on the plant and I have some good seed for next year as well as for
cooking.

However the french beans have not dried properly and most have rotted
away. Since they were all in the same plot I don't understand why the
french beans rotted. The same thing happened last year except that all
varieties of beans rotted on the plant.

Has anyone else had this problem with french beans?
