Default Planting out runner beans

Hi there

This is our first year with an allotment and so far the pots,onions and garlic are coming on just fine!

I got some runners and dwarf french beans started at home (2 weeks ago) and the runners are huge and quite tall - they look a little 'drunk'. I understand that they need to hardened off but as we don't have a cold frame, I have been keeping by our balcony door in our flat.(I am not sure if this is right!)

Anyway, we were going to take them down the plot today to leave overnight and possibly put them in tomorrow but it's pouring with rain!

Any ideas on what to do as the leaves have turned in slightly and I am worried that they need putting in the ground.

Many thanks
Giley
