What on earth has happened to my runner beans? ??? The leaves look as though they are covered in rust, and the remainder of what was left of the crop and flowers have sadly suffered too!

??? Didn't know RB's got rust... Possibly halo Blight or Chocolate spot. If you have brown streaks on the stems would suggest the latter. :'(
