Mine are very poor, pale leaves and not many flowers. (Enorma) I did make quite a deep trench which had plenty of old horse manure put in. Hope they improve soon, got about 6 beans at moment.

Apart from rotted manure I have also watered with miraclegrow. I did wonder if the strong winds we have been having might have been cause of poor results. (East Anglia ALWAYS has strong winds) I have had to give help with the plants climbing. As I only have a garden I don't grow much veg but runner beans are my favourite :'(
