All bar 5 of my runner beans have come up without a growing tip or leaves? Just a stump....anyone had this before?
I have just nuked some compost in the microwave to ensure there are no hidden bugs. I first noticed this a week ago but everything else sown in the same compost is fine.
Any clues?

I’ve had them come up like that before. They seem to grow ok eventually. I check If they have good roots and leave them to it for a while. I have no idea why some do it.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

Are you growing them in pots? Or open soil?
It's usually a maggot in the soil. If the weather is warm it doesn't happen so often.
Start them off on Tupperware pots on damp kitchen roll. So they aren't hanging around.
