My beans (climbers and dwarf, both), don't seem to grow nice and straight and tend to curl. They still cook up well and taste fine. Thoughts please?

I have had this problem in the past. I'm growing mine in the spring now - bean fly gets them in the autumn. I am giving my plants a good fertilizing and producing big healthy tall plants and I have straight beans. Do they touch the ground and curl.

Hi Mike... No, they just seem to curl anywhere.
