It's Bean a Good Summer


so far. and after a lot of rain, and some sun, the broad beans have turned out alright. They have grown so much that they are taller than me. It should be a bumper crop.


But sad to say the peas that had been protected through the winter by fleece didn't come to much. I think that they actually didn't get enough rain through the fleece. This autumn I shall use proper cloches. That way it will be easier to move, water and replace the cloches. But there are more peas on the way.


Here are the beans



The leeks were quite nice but a little on the small side but very tasty.
