Is anyone else suffering a very poor runner bean crop this year ?
This is the poorest year I can remember. The blossoms seem to be mainly
falling off the plant, without setting at all. Perhaps one or two
out of a possible 15 blossom might set on my runner bean plants.

It is the dry weather. It is raining here in Cambridge, on the
day that I am experimenting with an umu! Anyway, it will help
with the beans.
