Teenie Beanies are all through now. Must get them out in the lobby as they are getting a bit leggy on the window sill.

Well, mine were planted into the garden yesterday - 8 of each variety, they all germinated! I would have preferred to wait another week or so to plant them out but they would have suffered so fingers crossed the weather will not have a turn!

Flowers on both climbing varieties now and a little bean on the Painted Lady, nothing yet on emsey's beans but I have moved the pot as a pigeon took a fancy to them and I found the tops of two on the ground  |

Is it too late to put Runner beans in now? The two I had climbing up a Trellis have been chewed by Slugs and are no more--

Does anyone else remember planting them in a glass with water and paper at school? |

My Runner Beans looked so healthy 2 days ago now after the Wind and Rain they look so bedraggled and limp--I only hope I don't lose them after all my effort at raising 5 plants!!

Well done Biggles, it's amazing how they can pick up isn't it? We have plenty of small beans on our runners now and on the pot labelled 'Emsey's beans' - dwarf ones and emsey very kindly sent me her spare ones! |

You could start a whole new business - 'Ready frozen beans, straight from your garden'

Biggles - You never know they might just manage a few beans before the Frosts. - I hope so anyway as our's are just getting going. Well done all of you that have beans already.  |

Ali--and BM--
Thanks for your encouragement re-Runner Beans. I have never grown Vegetables before either in the ground or in Containers so have been very disappointed with my efforts.
I did try Parsnips last year and they too were Failures--
I will keep in touch and let you know if I get any ;D the way they are growing they are sure to be frozen!!

Had our first lot with our dinner yesterday  Delicious but I have a confession............ As they have grown to the tops of the canes and entwined, I can't really tell which bean is which variety - I can when the flowers are out but that's not much use is it? |
