How high are your climbing beans?

[selfsufficient]

Hi all,
Just wondered how everyones climbing beans have been doing? I have lost one whole planting due to unexpected cold spell and had to resow the lot. Now some of those are dead or near it from the awful wind. (resow again!!)
My surviving frenchies are 1 and half to 2 feet tall, and my runners have flowers but are only about 8 inches.
What should their growth rate be? My gardening book says harvest from the end of June - I think not.

I'm half way up the canes at the lotty and my polytunnel runners are about two foot high after two-three weeks planted. I haven't even sown climbing frenchies yet.

My climbing frenchies are (very) vairiable from 300 - 650mm high

My runners are more of a gentle walker, only about 2" at the mo..........

My climbing French beans are about 10cm high....as are my runners *sigh.
OH is out there now planting yet another batch for the mice/slugs to eat.

Everything looks OK. Runners are a couple of foot, borlottis maybe one foot, but Frenchies pretty wee. They were all planted some time ago...

Mine keep falling over! Some are a couple of feet and some only a few inches. Others wait in the wings.....to replace the nibbled or snapped ones

My frenchies are about 6ins high and not looking too happy. The runners are about 2ft and doing much better, probably coz they are in a sheltered, sunny position next to the house.

My climbing beans are a 9 inches and have been for a couple weeks.
My dwarf french beans are sticking to dwarfism at about 7 inches, i assumed they would be bushy being dwarf but they are spindly things the snails like and have about 3 fours per stem. Maybe i should have planted more than 8 lol

My French climbing bean are around 2 and a half ft high my dwarf French beans are about a foot high but are getting buffeted by the wind and have lost some leaves I've got more dwarf to go in and was thinking of sowing more.

my climbing runners are between 30cm and 60cm high, however the one's in florist buckets are around 1m high, (ive got about 40/50 in total at the minute) , my dwarf runners are around 15cm (got around 10 of those in), my climbing frenchies are around 10cm tall (got around 30 of those in) and my dwarf frenchies are around 30cm tall (got around 40 of those in)
