Ah well - here goes.

Managed to harvest some beans this week - enough for me and my son to share for tonight's tea. Asked him whether he preferred the pencil pods or the flat pods and he said the flat ones. Cool boy - takes after his old man and prefers runners. Youngest daughter doesn't have a preference - she just loves veggies and other half and eldest prefer Frenchies.

Had an exploratory dig for King Eds and have some potatoes - small but there are some which is a relief with them being blighted so early.

Staked my full sized Brussels - one old boy on our site said that the weather we have had means they will all be blown anyway. Cannot believe that is true - not if the weather keeps up as it is at the moment. Anybody got any opinions on this?

Things are definitely beginning to pick up.
