Title: Whats Done My Runner Beans In
Post by: baggieboy on May 02, 2007, 21:50:08
Hi planted out some runner beans last week that had been started off in pots (bit early I now).

Now they are looking terrible and was just wandering if anyone new what could be a cause.

What could be the cause for this , I know it's not the end of the world but still a bit gutted. Not had any frost either.

No frost, but probably/possibly still too cold overnight?

Has it been very windy? I'd try and protect them from the elements a little if you can.

They look a bit on the under-established side to me.

And were they properly hardened off??
