I have Broad beans, French beans and peas in the same bed, and all are doing or have done well. However, the flowers on my Dwarf Runner beans are falling off, and only about 20% are setting. Any ideas please. I mentioned the others, to show that it cannot be lack of polinators.

Submariner, i know it's annoying but most runner beans are a bit temperamental, its either to hot to cold to dry or to wet, as it's quite early in the season for them ,just try and be patient and i'm sure they will get a better set soon.

Knd regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like n old fool.

Thank you, friend. I will do as you advise. There are still quite a lot of flowers.
