Runner Beans

Have reached 6 foot now, think I might pinch out the growing tip. Don't normally bother outside, but the ceiling is only 6 foot 6 inches indoors.

Got a few greenfly on them, have been hand squashing them

 

I've not even sown mine yet.

 

I got bored.

 

Any flowers yet?

 

Nah, not been enough light, been darker than the long dark tea time of the soul.

 

Better than last year then Zigs, when the slugs ate your entire crop.

 

All but one Pam

 

I worry about you Zigs. Is this "Economy House Plants" perhaps? !!

 

I do have a few house plants by default. They don't do much.

 

If I do put them out i'll sink the pot in the soil halfway & then put a ring o vaseline round it, still loads of slugs about when I was digging the garden over, need a bucket of Hedgepigs.

 

Are you going to hand pollinate them or will you be getting some bees indoors?

 

A bucket of bees will bee easier, i'll ask Spruce for a jar.

 

Should've planted French Beans
