Same here, same variety as well. Just sown some 'runners beans for small
garden' whatever that might mean, hoping that they might at least get to
the height they need to be and start cropping sooner. Also sown some
surplus runner beans seeds from a friend .

I found my cobra climbing beans were slow to germinate this year as
well. i am putting this down to the lack of rain.

They do like a bit of a paddle, do beans ...

I always start mine in deep boxes, and then plant them out. I bought
large a batch of Enorma seeds from a local family-run garden centre, as
I have done for several years.

Practically all of them germinated and I planted out nearly 60 at the
end of April. Of course, a very sharp frost on one night at the
beginning of May did for the lot.

So I went back to the garden centre, where they had a large supply of
plants of the same variety and spent good beer money on replacing the
'dead' ones. At least, I thought they were dead, but when I dug them up
some of them were shooting again from the base.

So I repotted them and now several of them are about 6" high and I am
wondering where to put them.

I hope this doesn't prove to Sacha that I know nothing about gardening
compared with ...!
