Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
The runner beans are doing OK, I have already frozen a couple of bags chopped and blanched. I need to get myself one of those handy little stringers because it's hard work doing it by hand. By the way, no one in Finland eats them - they are grown purely for decoration! I have never seen them in the shops. It must be one of those Brit things. The french beans are still producing because I planted a second lot of seeds about 3 weeks after the first lot. These have yielded a huge amount per plant. In fact the yields are so heavy the plants need support otherwise the stems can break especially if there is heavy rain. Will grow less beetroot and more beans next year.
