Monday wasn’t too bad a day. It was cloudy for most of the day but we didn’t have any rain so I managed to cut the grass at home and clean out the pond filter.
Most things survived whilst we visited Suffolk last week. However our broad beans Bunyards Exhibition sown in modules 08 August grew rather too well or more to the point a bit leggy. They had been left outside in the cold frame to grow on a little before being planted out in the plot as an experimental early crop.
The tops of the plants have grown through the netting which covers the cold frame in an attempt to stop birds creating havoc by pecking around in the plants. I’m not sure what will happen if I take the tops out of the plants, will they produce side shoots or perhaps send up new shoots from the bottom of the plant? The tops of the plants will be damaged in any case when they are extricated from the netting so I suppose I’ll find out. I do want to plant them in the plot at any rate just to see if they can survive the winter weather without protection.
