Last year I had almost zero pollination success with red-flowered and red and white-flowered runner beans so this year I tried white ones called Moonlight. They have been tremendously successful with almost every flower being pollinated. Nice stringless beans too.
But the last lot of flowers, although set, have resulted in these weird little jobs. it can't be lack of water as it has been raining nearly every day since April and on the few dry days I've given them a can of tap water.
What is wrong this time?
Apophthegm - a big word for a small thought.

Bingo wings and shrivelled runners. That's me.
And it feels like October so the beans are probably packing up too.

Rain every day since April, and now like October! You need to move house from this forsaken spot.
Joe, It's hell on earth here. Not a house in sight, badgers, hedgehogs, buzzards, green woodpeckers, even the occasional hobby chasing a swift. Rain, wind and cold are a small price to pay.
I still don't know what to do about my shrivelling skins though.
