    1st French Beans

    MMMMMM!
    First French Beans: plot to plate = 35 mins.

    Variety: Tendergreen (dwarf) out of date seeds for 5p
    Sowed: cell trays in cold greenhouse April
    Planted out: 19 May

    lovely!

    I got some summer PSB too - I'd forgotten I was growing it.

    Still have no French beans at all - some are now flowering but I lost the first batch that I planted out.

    Majorly annoying as I have a brand new bean slicer that I am dying to try out - we have broadies but it's just not the same.

          Hope you all enjoy your beans. Mine are flowering now - so won't be long.

          From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

            Mine are just beginning to pod up - they are dwarf borlotti and already showing interesting streaks of red!

              Congrats! I have beans coming out of my ears. The landlord brought over a couple of kilos! Not to mention the ton I have growing. They're all in the freezer now.

                Patiently waiting for my french beans... they are flowering at the moment, so hopefully will not be too much longer. All of yours look fab!

                        Picked my second lot of Cobra today quite surprised that they are out already as the plants are really skinny and not very bushy at all
