You're blog rocks.

The plants are really taking off now and seeds sow much quicker I've noticed. That's quite a bit of parsley! Things are looking great in your garden. I'm looking forward to your runner bean progress over the months as I'm learning this year and hope I can manage a decent harvest!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263430746482725687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-36477124218282006612012-05-27T10:43:05.479+01:002012-05-27T10:43:05.479+01:00Hello, good to "meet" someone local who ...Hello, good to "meet" someone local who loves their veggie garden as much as I do! I love your plot, it looks very neat and tidy :) I've always grown French beans but have tried a few runners this year and they're growing well.serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554603552983182516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-40351114079939158652012-05-27T01:38:36.056+01:002012-05-27T01:38:36.056+01:00Like Jo, I like the french bean types as well, but...Like Jo, I like the french bean types as well, but will almost always grow a few runner beans for their lovely red flowers and the fact that the hummingbirds love them (don't think you have hummingbirds in England?). Also, they add a nice punch of hot color to the garden. My favourite bean is Fortex...young or old..always tender.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-51309341366371981302012-05-26T18:30:40.383+01:002012-05-26T18:30:40.383+01:00Will you grow anything under the structure to cove...Will you grow anything under the structure to cover the ground?

But this year I'm staggering the planting of the corn.

I'll be interested to hear your one bean per cane do. I'm not growing runners this year, opting for more French beans instead.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
