Week 24 - Bed 3 Planting

We dug most of this bed this week, using a more thorough lazy-bed method, and sowed:

• Enorma Runner Bean (2 parallel rows half the length of the bed) - a heavy cropping variety with long smooth, stringless pods and red flowers.
• Neckargold Climbing French Bean (2 stations) - high yield medium-late variety, with long round yellow beans.
• Eva Climbing French Bean (3 stations) - an early variety with long oval blue-green pods.
• Blauhilde Climbing French Bean (3 stations) - maincrop variety with long oval purple pods.

Poles will be added to make a tipi for the climbing french beans and a linear 'X' frame for the runner beans. About a quarter of the bed remains empty.
