Second Sowing of Runners

Because my original runner bean plants don't seem to be doing too well - rubbish in fact - I sowed some more a couple of weeks ago in a large container. These are now beginning to climb and look in a much better state than the originals - fingers crossed for a late harvest.

My beans either rotted or stopped growing; finally, things seem to be on the move for the plants that survived and I may even get to eat french beans before the week's out! However, there's just not enough for more than a taste so I'm resowing with the mindset that I have nothing to lose!
