The bean patch...

At the weekend we prepared the patch in the garden for to grow the beans in. It started off as a messy, forgotten about corner... So we cut back the surrounding bushes and pulled out the weeds... Dug in and turned and loosened the soil... Created a boundary from old bricks... Filled the bed with new compost... Fixed some garden string for the beans to grow up... All ready for the beans to go in!


I have to admit, we got a little impatient and bought one (ready for planting out) bean from the local Farmer's Market and popped him in, so he's just waiting for the others to join!


But here's how the beans from seed are coming along in their pots! They've literally just pushed up through the soil over night! Just a little way to go yet before they're ready for planting out! Exciting!
