A good friend gave us two runner bean plants a few months ago. We decided we could train them upwards, using the gazebo frame as stakes. Now we have fresh beans, every second day.

Great idea Alan, and it's been a good year for veg too! :) my greenhouse was too late for most things, but my mixed salad planters are showing germination already, so I may have fresh leaves right into the winter. :)

Thanks Karen and Homebird .... It's nice having fresh veg and herbs at arms length.

Thats quite a coincidence Alan as our next door neighbours gave us two runner bean plants, but Im sorry to say that the dreaded slugs have eaten the lot;0(

That's a shame Carole, we have 6 or 7 meals out of them. Very near the end though now. I will probably pick the last of them tomorrow.
