Yesterday I planted five runner beans round the teepee with last years runner bean. I noticed in the other bed there’s a last years runner bean coming up so I need to put a teepee over there & plant more beans there,they’re getting a bit long,2ft long… I’ve hurt my back & it’s difficult to bend so I’ll probably just sow seeds today,more cucumbers,peas,beans & lettuce. I topped the bird feeders up earlier,they’re busy with the starling & sparrow families most of the day

Pulled up bindweed digging out roots when I could find them.

Yesterday I sowed more lettuce,beans & cucumber seeds,weeded the front garden & cut the seed heads off the nettles,there was a ladybird on one stem though,so I left that,they like the little tiny aphids under the leaves
