    10th Day, and it’s Yellow Perfection. I used to grow this outdoors every year and it was pretty reliable and prolific. The taste was fine as well, from what I remember.

              Day 12 big big beans. No idea why I want to try growing these. The only beans I eat are baked beans ( usually with chips ) or kidney beans ( usually in a chilli ). So would have to search some recipes out. But still they appeal to me.

              The first person that suggests stew or the like, is off my Christmas card list permanently
              Stew is the food of the devil and should be band

                      Day 12 - HSL Peremoga

                      The blurb says:
                      Indeterminate. Cordon. Originally from Estonia, but donated to us by Heine Refsing of Denmark. An early variety producing large, bright red, irregularly-shaped, juicy fruits with a tangy flavour and few seeds. Some fruits can reach 500g (1lb) in weight so plants will require sturdy supports. A number of HSL members found that this variety shows some resistance to blight.
