The first sown broad beans are just about to flower so finger crossed the weather improves and I can start to bring them out of the greenhouse periodically and harden them off...<br /><br />The bulldog clips holding the plastic cloche on is a great idea!!Green Dragonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577026799637153889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-49288697195857871272012-05-01T20:53:43.465+01:002012-05-01T20:53:43.465+01:00That cloche is a fabulous thing - I could do with ...That cloche is a fabulous thing - I could do with one of those for my carrots. I sowed them in buckets this year and didn't think to cover them and they've been "snouted" by an urban creature. Now covered with a bit of wire basket, I hope it's not too late. I'm just about to sow my beans and am growing a dwarf bean (amongst others) for the first time this year. Thought I might be able to grow a crop on my balcony for easy picking!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-81224084296808176532012-05-01T19:43:41.677+01:002012-05-01T19:43:41.677+01:00Oh I'd be way too lazy to do that to my brassi...Oh I'd be way too lazy to do that to my brassica stems. I tend to just toss them in the compost in 3" segments. If they don't break down in the first year they go back into the next year's compost. And I so love beans too, both dried and green. This year I'm growing two different green beans. One is a pole, but one is like yours, a fast bush bean. I figure it will set me up with beans about two weeks before the pole beans start. Then I'll plant them again later in the year and they will give me beans in early fall when my poles are giving out. Well if I can time it right. How often does that happen?Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-38945103553314705612012-05-01T19:13:40.156+01:002012-05-01T19:13:40.156+01:00There is just something about bean seedling that m...There is just something about bean seedling that make you think spring.

I love that you show things such as beans growing in containers. Before I got my allotment I used to grow many things in pots, beans were just one of them. Many people would think that tall plants are a no no in containers, but they do very well. I even managed sweetcorn, in fact, my sweetcorn did better in containers than they've ever done on the allotment.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
