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.

Updated September 29th - Bean drying.

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.

Picked our first crop of opera today. The Cobra and runner beans are just starting.

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
