Our beans have come on very quickly. I’m really quite impressed at how speedily they have found their way up the canes and wrapped themselves securely around the bamboo. Two of the plants are now so tall that they are straying off the top of the canes and blowing in the breeze.
More importantly, though, they’re also bearing fruit (or should that be ‘bearing vegetable’) and tonight we picked and ate the first seven beans off two of the plants.
They were delicious.
Now I know seven beans isn’t all that much, but I’m rather ashamed to say that it was better than this year’s entire cherry harvest. I re-sited the tree at the end of the winter and to be honest I think it’s just getting over the shock of its new surroundings. This looks like being all the cherries we’re going to get this year.
