Allotment beans a total flop! Roasted under plastic?

Alas, when I removed the plastic from the allotment beans today and saw nothing, I started digging around to see if anything was about to pop out of the ground.  Well, the answer was a definite NO!  In fact, I could hardly even find any of the beans -- the ones I did find were rotting or hadn't done a thing.  I did find two that looked like they were doing something, so I put them in the NW corner of the bean section.

So, I'll need to re-start the allotment beans, will do that in a few days.
