First Broad Beans.

In the veg garden this week the first of the broad beans are getting ready for picking. I planted the peas and beans in alternate rows for no other reason than thats how they became ready for planting but I notice after the rain the other night how this has turned to be something worth repeating another time because I find that the wire netting used to protect and support the peas also supports the beans and stops them flopping all over the place. Normally I would have staked the beans with stick and string but this way is proving much better.
