Climbing French Bean Cobra, forgotten how to climb.

[Jimmy]

I put out a batch early in the year.
Planted them out and there was a cold snap which annoyed them for a while, but they recovered and are now half way up the wigwam.

Did another later batch and planted them out under a wigwam.
Basically they have just sat there for must be at least 2 weeks.
They look healthy but no inclination to climb.

Anyone any ideas ??
Thanks
Jimmy

Perhaps the weather has been a little too cold to get them going...be patient

Patience Grasshopper....as they used to say in the '70s

OK thanks, I will wait.
Do you think threatening them might wotk?

Tell them you're going to rip them out and plant flowers instead. That'll scare them into action

[Nicos]

Might work better than telling them they will be eaten when they grow up

Flowers ?
I may be evil but not insane. Well I think so.

Have you ever noticed how they often try and go up the wrong cane ?
And when you tie them to it they try a swap canes half way up ?
