BEANS BEANS BEANS !!!!!

I have just been out setting beans... again I have plonked them straight into the compost... I usually start them off in toilet roll tubes -but the peas I started of this way this time have had a poor germination rate -and its not the seed as the same ones set straight outside seem to be on their way through ;-)

So I have just set :-
  1. 9 borlotto lingua di fuoco 2
  2. 9 "sultana" french
  3. 9 "desiree" runner
  4. 5 white lady runner -the last I have so I will save some this year
  5. 9 "pea bean" french climbing
  6. 9 blue
  7. 9 "Kentucky yellow"
  8. 8 "rot" runner beans
  9. 9 "ustia" soya beans

I have a couple of other varieties to set, so will get them out tomorrow..

I also managed to transplant my mini turnips into a trough this morning....oh and the beetroot my mum sent me has started to come through this morning..its called solo -and you just get one beetroot per seed -so no thinning out required :-)

The squash and melons I set out yesterday don't seem to have suffered at all either -fingers crossed it stays that way...

Hi Leiela

Nope just me n hubby lol...
we eat loads of veggies and Im planning on shoving plenty in the freezer ;-)
Also as they have just been stuck straight into the compost I stick to the old "plant 1 for the mice, 1 for the slugs and 1 for the kitchen"
