runner beans flowering but no fruit
I hope someone can help - I have runner bean plants that are healthy, with lots of flowering, but have had no fruit at all. They are grown out of the wind, regualr watering but from seeds that I had from last year (which also did not fruit, but did not flower either as the plant was in a windy location, I think the flowers got blown away). Could it be bad seeds, or not enough bees around? any ideas? Much appreciated, DaveSee More
