You can hardly see them, but there are a number of runner bean plants slowly growing here.  I suppose that the ground is not really the best for beans here in that it is no great deep tretch dug months beforehand and filled with rotting compost like I did once do on the allotment.   But still, there is time for these little plants to grow and produce flowers.

Alongside I have added some sweetpeas to help things out a bit.
