Mine aren't climbing. Worse, they aren't even getting out of bed.
Two sowings this year, a total of 128 beans sown. Germinated? 1. That's ONE.
This is very odd. The Runner Beans were slow but have eventually delivered a good quantity of plants. Normally, though, the Climbing French are faster, positively leaping out. This year they've clearly seen a warning notice "Attention - ne pas germer" and taken it all too literally. Ils sont tres en retard. Je pense qu'ils ont besoin d'un coup de pied au cul. N'est ce pas? Or re-sowing again (for the third time; it's getting to the point where they'll be too late to deliver a crop).
Harrumph.

I think runner beans are a bit hardier than French so maybe the cold has affected the French more!
Peut-être leur donner une chance de plus
Hmm; peut-etre!! Je perds patience un peu!
Hi,
I had the same problem last year. Ended up with one plant that maxed out at around 30cm and 2 pods.
