Wind and Beans

Wind and beans are often used together to good effect in schoolboy humour - but no such jokes in this post!

Wind: Well, as per usual for Hoylake recently, it’s been blowing like crazy again in the last few days. It’s curtailed my running, bashed the trellis in our back garden and re-salted our windows again. Having said that, I didn’t spot much damage on my way down to the plot on Saturday afternoon, unlike last Jan when we had the strongest winds for many years (allegedly). Had a bit of a fire to burn some weeds and did a bit of weeding too. Had to cut my visit short to fit in some hospital visiting unfortunately.

Beans: Moved my trays of broad beans from the garage into the utility room the other day ‘cos nothing much was happening …well, nothing was happening actually. Now starting to see a few sprouting through the compost at last.

Want to crack on with more weeding this week! And I’ve got some packets of seeds to use too including leeks - they need sowing in the next week or so according to the packet. My Mum bought me a packet of melon seeds for Christmas and I think I need to get cracking with those soon as well.
