A Woman of the Soil



'Hestia' dwarf runner bean flowers

 I have planted three beans to a large container in the hope of getting some late crops, and am really pleased with their progress. They are full of flower, which I hope the bees will kindly pollinate for me. The containers  are raised  to try and fool the slugs.  I gave some seed to a friend and her pots, on the ground, have been decimated.  Fingers crossed - so far so good.
