Allotments 4 All

hi
I'm having trouble with the runner beans this year ( Red Rum and Desire ) both from T&M , when they germinated,some had no leaves just a stalk, others had curled leaves ?? i disgarded them

so as the soil warmed I sowed them direct, about a fortnight ago, 2 have germinated so far out of 24, and they are pale weak looking specimens  :-\.

should i get new beans and sow again................is it to late now?

No it is not to late.

A lot of people do not put them in till the end of May.

Probally best to scrap those beans and start afresh. :)

As  betula said I'd start again, do you have pictures you could post?

We put ours in in cells under glass at the weekend, they are up and healthy.. will be selling the spares on 1st June....  ;D

Quotedo you have pictures you could post?

no sorry Mick , composted them.

thanks though,  I will try again,   or maybe buy some of saddad's spares  ;D
