New Lawn for nothing?

Iput down some turf this spring and not too long afterwards we had a time of really heavy rain and the ground took a long time to dry out. Ours is a clay soil. Now the soil is firmer but there are a few bare patches and areas where the grass seems to have dried up. These straw-like areas are certainly not dead as new growth is coming from them. However what it means is the first 4cm of thegrass is yellow with green shoots growing from these yellowed patches so when I give it a mow I'm mowing it back to yellow. Does any of that make sense? How can I restore the grass to its green self? We have such a tiny garden and we really do want it to work.

Runner Bean flowers BUT No Beans

This is my first year growing veg's. I've created a 6'x6' plot with loads of old compost into which I have a couple of Marrow Plants, 3 Tomatoe plants, a couple of rows of peas and a long row of Runner Beans. All are growing beautifully & healthily and have loads of flowers from which the various vegies are growing - All apart from the Runner Beans - They were purchased as small plants, planted at the base of 6' canes and have shot to the top and beyond and are a Mass of Red Flowers that are well visited by Bees and other polinating insects - HOWEVER - The flowers eventually drop and just leave a stalk... No little runner bean, ready to grow big and feed me. All plants are watered regulary but not over watered, I've added a bit of feed to the water on a couple of occasions over the past month. Can anyone enlighten me as to why the flowers just drop off and are not producing beans ??
