  • Runner Beans

    I set my runner beans in pots about 2 weeks ago. Currently they are about 8 inches high but have only just spread their seed leaves. Are they supposed to be this leggy ?

    They dont look weak and are all growing really well, in fact very very fast, I just wonder why the stems on most of them are about 5-6 inches long.

    They are not starved of light or heat, they're in a plastic greenhouse on the top level, the same place I've started all my seeds.

    Thanks...

            Your beans sound fine to me.
            Stacey - if you feel inclined, have a gentle root around in the soil / compost and see what is happening - if they have germinated but not shown, you may have them too deep, or they may have rotted if too deep and wet - have a look and let us know what you find and we may be able to assist further. Hope they are alright though.
