Runner bean Firestorm (with pics)

The one in the last photo has been at this stage for at least 10 days, it hasn't been eaten, just stopped growing.
There are several like this, and some with longer stems, two leaves that are smaller than the photo but again no desire to grow any further.

They have not been exposed to the elements so no birds & the tips of all the plants that have so far "germinated" are all ok.

I have found some of last years original seed so am going to plant these later.......it'll be interesting to compare.

Thanks for the interest
