[Mark's Sussex Allotment]

Evening all.

My hestia runners have been up about 4-5 weeks, but seem to have stalled.

I know they are dwarfs but they are not putting out any tendrils at all. Is this normal?

See pic....

Don't know what variety mine are, not dwarf, but they are certainly stalled!!!

think it due to the cold nights we been having mine are just not growing and have fallen to the slugs

Beans don't have tendrils, certainly not dwarf beans in my experience.

I agree with the others - transplant shock and cool nights.

Hi i sowed mine direct and out of 36 canes with 2 per cane only 3 have come up  >:(and im not the only one at our allotments as others are getting same results , they have been in ground approx 5 weeks but ironically 2 chaps who put them in 2 weeks earlier have had all thiers come up i dont understand it

I must admit, I'm having real struggles getting my hestia to even germinate. The french dwarves have been fine though so might give up on the runners and sow more of them.
