  • I normally compost the obligatory school bean that comes home but this year, thought I'd put it into the border which I've enlarged. Kind of an impromptu kitchen garden going on with some Rhubarb and chives.
    The bean has been given a name "beanzilla".
    It's managed to survive 4 days outside so far.
    Anyone in London have much luck with beans?

  • Not wanting to be all doom and gloom, but I'm holding off starting my beans until the end of the month. A late frost will knock it back a fair bit or kill it completely. Bloke who's taken over the plot next to me put his in last week and they already look a little scorched.

    If the weather warms up and stays warm you may be fine, though.

  • I've deadheaded the Hydrangeas so there better not be any further frosts!
    Monday and Tuesday look to be getting quite cold overnight again but hopefully not down to freezing again. Thoughts and prayers for Beanzilla.
