My runner beans have failed to set this year. I live in the Northwest, Clitheroe , Lancashire and we have had cold nights throught nthe flowering season. Could this be the cause of the problem. We have not been short of water.

Thanks Tulsalady. I will keep my fingers crossed

My beans have plenty of flowers but these are just dropping and there are no pods forming.
