Bean a bit premature
HelenHaricot on Apr 12th 2006
but my beans were deperate to sow beans! SO we sowed some climbing bean blue lake, and some runner bean enorma, amd also some sweet peas.
? 
The sweetcorn experiment has shown that 8 have chitted in the paper and water pot, and 1 is putting up its head in the loo roll tubes. the chitted ones have now been introduced to soil in roottrainers.
We have good germination on the cucurbits: pumpkins and the festival squash, but no sign of courgettes as yet. Most of the varying pea types from last showing ar erupting through, as are the brassicas. No sign yet of the florence fennel though.
The grape vine is really getting going as well. There are a few branches with nothing sprouting as yet, so we will keep an eye on those and earmark them for pruning.
Other than that, yet more weeding in the veg beds, and some sawing up of branches from the pruned fig. unfotunately there was a fair bit of trampling of broad beans by the herd of little beans that are our children - sigh! raised beds were such an advantage there.
