Full of beans

Next up was the broadbeans and French beans. The beds had been well-manured and tilled the weeks previously so the soil was prepared. And like the runner beans I had sowed some in seed trays weeks previously. 

So another array of wigwams quickly went up (I was fast becoming an expert!) and again I sowed some seeds alongside the constructions. 

Harvesting of all the beans will take place in about two/three months, ideally when the pods are about half and inch in diameter. However, I fear the wigwams may not stand the test of our Irish weather. Indeed I will keep you posted.
