There I was getting changed ready to tackle the hedges, all keyed up after a fine morning and – well you can guess – it started to rain! and accompaanied by winds again. So I cleaned out the guinea pig instead.
Later, the weather did relent and I managed to plant the courgette, replace a broccoli plant that hadn’t made it (I blame the wind), and move a growbag to under the kitchen window ready for tomatos (which are already outside ‘acclimatised’).
Broad beans - plus supports
Just thought I’d put in a picture of the broad beans to show I’ve actually got the supports in. – the white bits are lumps of polystyren to stop me poking my eye out on the canes!
Needless to say it is sunny, calm and fine now – but I’ve got to go out…..
I bet it’s fine tomorrow – just because I’m probably going to be out most of the day - harumph, grumble, grumble.

You can eat young broad bean pods complete – just steam or boil them in water until tendere – they should only need a few minutes.
Once the pods show the beans inside as bulges then it is better to eat the beans, the pods will be too tough.
