@Nanny Beach Pea beans were given to us some years ago by a relative. They are brilliant in that you can eat the flat beans and/or wait until the seeds inside develop and cook those. You can also dry them to use in the winter (the seeds). They do need a support to climb up as they grow very tall.
Have a look at the link. Amazing colours not all like the photo but some are brown and white whilst some are nearly black and white.
Busy day planting today. A glorious cloudless day after some desperately-needed proper rain on Friday night - perfect! I've left everything open in the greenhouse day and night over the last few days. A colder night tonight so it's closed again, but from tomorrow it looks like we're good down here to start moving tender stuff outside, with nights forecast to stay close to double figures. So I had to make some room in the cold frame and pot tables outside.
So I planted out about 25 snapdragons, half a dozen agastache and a bunch of the rudbeckias I'd sowed from the GW mag free seeds. From tomorrow I'll start moving out the tender plants (via the cold frame for a few days) ready for planting out or potting up over the next couple of weekends.
Also, mowed the lawn and did some edging and weeding.
Thank you for the kind comments, I seem to have missed a few posts, I have now set up the notification part but I am now being bombarded with Emails and pop ups. HELP.
We have cleared the makeshift greenhouse tent and started to plant up, and had some beautiful long needed rain today.
My Rose that was given to us by a neighbor that did nothing according to them, I cut back pretty hard to some nodes? it is going crackers and very dense should I do something to it?
Also I purchased a standard plant, (I have a soft spot for standards ) I purchased it last year for £7.50 a broken pot and no label, it has also started to leaf up, gave the stem a light pressure wash whilst doing the bottom patio any one would like to guess what it is.
No gardening yesterday. After waiting two and a half years, I finally had my windows and front door fitted. A lot of noise and dust but job done in one day, not the two I was expecting. Four young men who worked really hard all day. Great. I now have the stable door I have wanted for years and no draughty windows The cat had a hissy fit because the new door is white inside, not treacle brown. She moaned and groaned until I held the cat flap open so she could see it still worked. Her stomach got the better of her coming back in.
My neighbour is having a new patio and said I could have any plants that would otherwise be disposed of. So I bounced over there, spade in hand, and set to. All I managed to salvage was a small unknown rose and some congested clumps of primroses. Everything else was shot through with ivy, bramble, holly or couch grass.
