Runner bean germination
in Fruit & veg
Hi Guys,
I have planted 3 runner bean varieties, all at the same time, kept them in the same conditions in my zip up green house, and all of the 1 variety is up and at about 2 inches, and the other 2 varieties are yet to make an appearance.
Any ideas, hints and/or tips from more experienced gardeners would be much appreciated.
I've grown beans, many times before but last year I had a very poor year, so I'm a little nervous how this year might turn out.
Thanks.

I've been keeping them moist but not wet. and they are in 9cm pots, so should have enough compost. it may be that I need to water the a little more often, as last year all my seeds rotted, due to old seeds and heavy old compost (lockdown problems getting fresh seeds and compost), so maybe I've been a little cautious with the water.
I'm remaining optimistic as its still only now really warming up and my zip up greenhouse that they are in is good at keeping the frost at bay, but is not really offering much "Heat", at least not consistently.
I'll keep being patient.
yeah, i realise what you meant now. last year was more to do with me not being able to get hold of seeds or plugs until late, and they never really got going, the slugs had a field day and they just struggled.
I'm more well prepared this year.
