Last years runner beans are coming up in my red onion area,i need to remove some of the onions that bolted last week & put a teepee near those beans :
Done this part & weeded but I can’t plant my new beans out yet so I left that area of random onions & teepee & planted a tomato with marigolds in a large container. My new beans have never been outside before,I want to harden them off in the shade first for a few days,the sun is very hot here they’d wilt. I’m bringing them downstairs now
