WIPEOUT

It was a bleak time in Narraghmore this morning, the transplanted beans (broadbeans, French beans, runner beans) were wiped out; swept away to Carlow in fact. My first allotment casualty. After weeks of caring, watering and talking to the bloody beans, they did not survive the transplantation or the Athy wind. All that is left is canes and string. It's tough but I'm not going to give up. I've planted bean seedlings that were left over, here's hoping for second time lucky.
