Hi there! I'm new to Dave's Garden.
I've had my own garden for 3 years now, and last year I planted Blauhilde beans - they grew tall, up bamboo poles, and they were prolific.
I planted the same seeds (from the same packet) in the same spot (ok maybe bad idea) with the same poles about a month ago, but this year something weird has happened - the seedlings all had their stems cut off at about 8 inches off the ground. (See photos)
I would guess cutworms, but the cut is not at ground level... Also wondered whether I may have caused this myself, (gently) moving the seedlings so they're touching the string, so they start climbing. But I think I did that last year and I don't think this happened last year.
What should I do? There are flowers below the cut, and on other side-stems, but I'm not sure whether the plants will continue to grow upward..... Should I plant a new batch somewhere else? Or will these ones be fine?
Thanks in advance!
