    Welcome Fraggleback (can't figure that out yet!).

    Don't ask me .. I got nowhere and something's eaten all mine I'm afraid ... barring TWO !!! Flowers were nice, however, and still are! Think the birds have taken a fancy to mine.

    I think if you say what the problem is, someone will come up with some constructive advice ... sorry, I'm no help ....

    Anyway, welcome to GC ... there's lots of good folk out there full of knowledge!

    Thanks all for your kind welcome... By the way Im Red fraggle! LOL

    This thing iv got with my runners is, the leaves on them all seem to be wilting like they have lack of water, but they are well fed and watered, they are all shriveling up...Im at a loss as there are no pests due to my treatment of them(no pesticides) and they are just coming into flower at about 4ft! Help!!!!!

    Hi there and welcome Fraggleback - re the beans, if leaves are wilting then it is usually something to do with the plant accessing water. It could be its too dry (we have had little in the way of rain) but you say this is not the problem. However there may be a problem at the roots perhaps something like vine weevil - who love new young roots. I would suggest that you lift a plant a take a look. Get back to us with what you see.
