The first couple were windfalls, since then I've been twisting off a couple every few days to bring in and soften indoors for a week or so. Even crisp, they are a delight, so sweet and juicy.<br />Did you know runner beans are actually perennial in their native climate? They should keep fruiting until the frosts get them - November, right? ;-). Apparently you can then dig up the tuber and store it somewhere frost free, before replanting next spring to get a head start on seed-grown plants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-82861088312095489612011-09-26T09:14:50.928+01:002011-09-26T09:14:50.928+01:00Looking fab - your lettuce and veg haven't a s...Looking fab - your lettuce and veg haven't a slug or pest nibble in sight! I'm now finding slugs nesstled in my cabbage (pesky pests!). Maybe I should just start a slug/snail farm! Your tomatoes look very prolific and your tomato sauce (last post) looks great. The lasagne looks appetizing too! P.S. Fingers crossed, no frost until at least mid Oct!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263430746482725687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-43482272839265696252011-09-25T20:26:59.475+01:002011-09-25T20:26:59.475+01:00Still productive!

I made a kind of relish called pindjur - You can find the recipe on my blog.<br />Have a nice day!Vesna Marichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265502263728106716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-77739650535572629802011-09-25T17:39:42.831+01:002011-09-25T17:39:42.831+01:00We still have to visit our plot after getting back...We still have to visit our plot after getting back from holiday. We have a conference pear in the garden but the fruit never ripen to the soft stage on the tree - you pick them hard and leave them to soften after picking. Must admit though I quite like hard pears.
