loosing runner beans
 

I thought I would get a super crop of runner beans this year, but most of
the flowers have dropped off, and the number of beans left is very poor.
Does anyone know the reason? My french beans have cropped really well in the
same conditions.

Give 'em time and plenty of water.

Pull one of them up and look for root aphids.

You want to give them lashings of water and also try and make the air around
the plants moist. I use a trickle hoze on a bit harder than it should be
