Thank you, Monty

There’s a wonderful new star of “Gardeners World” and I think we’re all in love with Ned already.

A few weeks ago, Monty suggested we planted some dwarf French Beans where we had our potatoes.  My runner beans had been delicious but there were so very few of them, I decided to try this idea.

Last Friday, Monty harvested some of his purple beans. (And Ned tried one). I thought of mine, not in the same league.

I’ve just been out in my garden, and they seem to have grown ! They’ll never make a full helping I fear, but I was quite pleased.

Please note : they look enormous here but it’s deceptive. They are as thin as a bit of wool and just over an inch in length….

And I’ve no idea what creature is nibbling the leaves….
