Hello to all, and thankyou for all your helpful advice.

Phew! It seems that I got all het up over nothing....I was just worried that once flowers had begun to develop, the leaf growth would drop back and there wouldn't be enough foliage to nourish the beans.

I promise not to pinch out the flowers, and also to buy a bigger watering can!

I'm just off to buy a 20 quid plastic greenhouse tower thingy to house my peppers, chillis and tomatoes.....can anyone suggest any other tender plants that its not too late to start off in my new hot house? I think they'll be some spare space for a couple more pots....

Thanks everyone!!
