Prepping for Beans!

Finished work at lunchtime so home to pick up wellies then we went up the allotment and Simon put up the bean poles in preparation for our runner beans and Blue Lake beans, still plenty of room in the bed for the broad beans (which still have not poked their heads up in their pots at home yet) and the dwarf French beans.  Might even be able to get a row of peas in too.

 

 

Not bad I think for a first attempt at bean pole architecture!  Just waiting for the beans now.  So what was I doing whilst Simon was being constructive?

 

The final bed!  Putting in a semi-circular area for the bench (when we have made it!) and this bed is going to be our 'experimental' bed, basically a bed for things that won't fit anywhere else, one offs, special things, odds and ends and maybe our pumpkins and marrows...  Dug over half of it but pretty hard going, lots of plastic and bits of general garden debris, will hopefully finish it on my next day off.
