Week 26 - Bed 3 Planting

None of the beans in this bed are doing well, which is not surprising given the cold wet weather that we have had since they were sowed 2 weeks ago. Only a few of the seedlings have emerged, and many of them are looking very poor, or have been eaten. In order to make sure that we get a full crop, we resowed all of the runner beans and three varieties of climbing french beans. We also built a 'tipi' for the french beans and an 'X-frame' for the runner beans using 240cm long bamboo poles and cut up strips of an old rubber inner tube from a bicycle.
