Bean Feast!

We have a great crop of beans growing this year. These runners are producing well so far but we have a big problem with a water leak to the allotments, this has been ongoing for years but recently come to a head involving the local councillor last week. You can't put a lot of work into growing your fruit and veg only to have no water to help them along in this unusual period of sustained hot weather. Those concerned have been trying to sweep us, the allotment holders, under the carpet for years but we will not be beaten ;-(


We have broad beans and Italian beans too which have nearly finished cropping, they've been lovely, but runners are 'la creme de la creme' in our opinion :-)


I picked 1.7kg today so we are now full of beans and I need to find my recipe for Spicy Runner Bean Chutney yet again!
