I would really love to do a little experiment some time on pinching vs. not pinching beans. Oh, those aphids - hopefully you'll be able to top them before they get to too many of your plants.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-68650907009837027012015-07-19T09:45:21.121+01:002015-07-19T09:45:21.121+01:00Thankfully my beans are climbing too & are in ...Thankfully my beans are climbing too & are in the process of being pinched out. I'm sure there are no tiny beans on mine yet so your plants are a little more advanced than mine. The black fly have missed my beans this year but attacked all of the fox gloves instead!

I grew them 2 years ago and had a super-abundant crop.

I hope you can deter those blackflys, I haven't seen any in my garden yet - but i have found some pests underneath the leafage of my brassicas, blinking white cabbage butterfly, partly my fault for not putting a net coverage over - hopefully, they have not done much damage.

At least I don't see them on the sprouts themselves anymore. And I love all the runner beans. They are such a beautiful plant when in bloom.
