They're in a bed - we only have a weeny garden so no room for a greenhouse. The bed is in full sun, and I'm hoping the slugs prefer to lurk in danker spots, and I potted up the young plants so they're now a good foot tall, with several pairs of leaves. We shall see!

I've done a simple A-frame for the runner beans. They're not too heavy, and I buried a good foot of each cane's length, so I'm optimistic. The outdoor tomatoes are more of a problem. Every year they're been OK until the fruits expand, and then gravity wins.
