Broad Beans


Here are our broad bean plants. We've put in two rows of plants that we started growing indoors, and then two rows of seeds. Next weekend we'll put in some more rows, and then we'll have a nice long-lasting crop of beans, rather than them all being ready at once. That way, we won't get bored of broad beans. That's the idea anyway.
We have canes and string to build supports for the beans to grow up. We would have put them up on Saturday but I left the string at home by mistake. Hopefully the beans will still be ok without the supports for now.

  1. I think you will be eating beans for a long time!
    Do you want onion sets? Paul bought too many!
    You can have some geraniums and doble petunias if you like ordered lots of plug plants.
    Hope you get lots of enjoyment from the Not a lot...ment Best wishes Jill Paul and Will xx
