Becks I am growing french beans, the advice I had last year was to make a bean trench and Geoff made me sow them really late which is why they did not die in freezing June. Geoff is a bean guru specialising in runners, (how many plants Geoff?)
My OH has just arrived home after a day fishing. The first question he asked was "What's for tea?"Some things never change!. The answer was left overs and of course beans.
A bean trench is the way to go I reckon - did one this year and the beans seem to like it. Becks, as there's only you and Jess, I'd say one wigwam each of runners and french beans would be enough. Don't do what I did the first year though and plant dwarf french beans and then wonder why they weren't climbing up the canes!
Lottie, I have lernt my lesson this year about labelling plants, and now don't know which variety my toms are up to yet, as I planted two sorts, but lost most of them whilst hardening off to terrential rain. The remaining ones got mixed up. Only going to stick to runner beans, so no mix ups!
Becks we will be here for you-two rules ignore seed sowing dates and only grow what you like and is dear the shops-when is you hol and where are you going?
I shall be out of action for 2 and a bit weeks -will miss all the excitement and thrills-I shall expect a summary
As not a fisherman-I am intrigued in the attraction- tried it once from a boat and was sick

Chris were you not tempted to reply "Where are you taking me?" .
I have 20 plants of each-runner and french-timing is all important-we have been eating and freezing a lot
I will ask Chris-did he bring anything home?
Kate-I shall be out of the loop-wont know who are the ones to hate-will need twittering updates
Darn it
I was way too slow wasn't I, will remember that one for next time,Kate.
No Geoff I don't think he caught much, well nothing we could eat, but it gets him from under my feet for a few hours

Geoff will you not tweet when you are away? 40 plants it must be bean heaven at yours.
Chris when I cannot be bothered to cook, I offer a vegetarian meal, it works every time

Cool. Well it will be my first time, so you'll have to prep me early about what and what not to do.
