The Harvest Continues


Longest Runner Bean

I'm going to enter the longest Runner Bean class this year, so how's my prize winning bean doing?



Onions

A bare plot now all the onions have been lifted while there drying off in the greenhouse just 4 remain for next years seed.


Once the flowers have been pollinated I will place a brown paper bag over the heads to catch the seed for next year.
