Well, maybe not end of the beans entirely, but I’ve picked off the last of the French and runners today as we wait for the dwarf French beans to start producing. That’s an early end-of-season, really, which is most likely down to the fact they were grown in pots rather than the ground.
So, I snipped off the last few tonight – another 560 grams of runner and 40 of French – and left the remains of the crop that had somehow slipped past the point of eating on the plants until I take them down. Apart from the potatoes tucked around the corner, that’ll be the patio cleared and ready for Andrew to start construction of the loggia, which will eventually be home to vines, which I’m hoping should be fruiting grapes by next summer.
The broccoli is growing incredibly quickly now and looks like it should continue supplying an almost unbroken crop as the eight plants, between them, are regenerating as quickly as I can harvest them.
