  • Re: my runner beans are breaking!

    Forum post by billyboy on 17 Jul 2009

    I also have a problem with bean breakages, although it's not on the bottom but where the flowers have bloomed. The flowers stalk appears to have been very neatly snipped leaving another flower stiil in bloom above it. Any ideas of beasties, or perhaps even birds. Billyboy. Read more..

    helenscape, thanks for your good advice, I shall keep a keen eye on it, as i do for most of my fruit bushes regarding pests. I have a particular problem with my peach tree, regarding leaf curl. For the first two years it was fine and produced a good crop. But last year it failed totally. This year however having treated it with a recomended spray with claims to control leaf curl it has some success. It has not cleared all of the curl but the fruit looks promising. Thanks again billyboy. Read more..

    Thanks to you also chriss, although on the instruction card which came with the tree is says it is comfortable with ordinary pot peat. However I do have ericaceous feed which I shall use on a regular basis. Thanks again for your advice. billyboy. Read more..
