The Allotment Wife

Adieu to the French climbing beans

Leave a comment

What with the chillier weather over the last few days, our French climbing beans are now definitely over so we’ve harvested a handful and then put the rest into compost. They’ve had a brilliant year though and will see us through winter for sure. We still have a few mangetouts, however, so have left those plants in for now. And there are courgettes too:

The perennial flower bed is doing well which has surprised me. There are more alstroemerias in bloom:

And a plethora of pink dahlias as well!

So we have a harvest today of French climbing beans, mangetouts, courgettes, one beetroot, alstroemerias and dahlias:

And here are the vases at home:

Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!
