Another Busy Day

Up to Plot 69, supposed to be just picking beans.... however the local brewery man had been and left bags and bags of spent hops so Simon lugged bagfuls onto the plot, really good mulch, fertiliser and slug repellent!  Neatens the place up a bit too.  Just smells like nothing on earth..... Simon got sent for a shower and clothes straight in the washing machine when he got home later!  Whilst he was doing that I picked the beans, millions of runner beans again, and enough green beans to supply a small supermarket.  Freezer is full of beans, need more ideas for what to do with them!  Picked some dwarf green beans for the first time today, out of the 20 or so plants we put in only 4 survived, enough for a couple of handfuls.  Had a general tidy around.



Picked a few parsnips for roasting and some kale, wanted to pick the last of the beetroot for pickling but still on the small size so will wait another week.
