Morning all. Those beans look lovely @Pat E, I love broad beans. The beans I've bought in France have been hard or floury. I always grew them until this year when I was stuck in England during the lockdown. I could have grown them in England if I'd known the lockdown would be so long, but the broad beans I bought in England were so much better than the French ones. The French frozen ones are hard too.
It's been raining and looks very gloomy outside.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning everyone -- grim and miserable and wet. Definitely an indoors day. Waiting for my chilli seeds to arrive ( even though I won't be able to sow for a few weeks I am hoping it will give me something to look forward to next spring!)
Morning all, wet and grey here as well. Those orchids look lovely @Pat E. Not keen on broad beans so I'll take your word for it Dove and Pat. Not sure what to do today, daughter's going back to her place for a few days, SSW water have apparently fixed the cracked shared storm water drain which they think caused the problem - she'll wait and see. Green Thumb chap has just arrived to put a winter treatment on and has given me a rather nice calendar, a more substantial one than the GW one. Great shame about Flatters @WonkyWomble. We're looking after my daughter's cat while she's away, it's nice to have a pet again even if he claws up the carpets.Â

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Very cold here, expecting first snow later today.

Wet, wet, wet! Doesn't matter when my commute is from my bed to the dining table, I suppose
