Beans, they are so easy to grow and so nice to eat. At the end of the growing you can save some seed for next year. You get all this then for nothing! It is all a bit silly really as we have enough beans here to plant a field of them next year, but [...]

Flowers in September
It is noticeable that the evenings are darker and the mornings are colder, but we have the sunflowers doing a job to keep things looking sunny. This and a large batch of Amaranthus which are giving a bit of red within all the green. That plus all the daisy type flowers, bright white which is [...]

Along Comes the Wind
The poles seem to sturdy when you put them in, and yet within not too long the wind manages to blow them over. There is a lot of weight in these beans and sweetpeas that are going up the wigwams, and put that against the wind coming straight off the sea over the road – [...]

Wigwams blown down
The first one came down the other week during the strong wind and rain we had. The second one is halfway down following once again the strong wind and rain. Note for next year to put them further into the ground! Mind you, saying wind and rain is a bit of an understatement, more like [...]

w17 Sweetpeas at 'the side'
I still have so much to do to the “bit down the side” but money and time seem to get in the way. I have a place for a plant to grow up the fence but just need to decide what it is to be. Meanwhile, the sweetpeas are still climbing.
