These are my favourite seasonal veg, I say seasonal but the freezer might disagree. I grow about 20 plants in a trench made up of winter veg peelings And topped with the first grass clippings of the year, before covering over and leaving to rest. I never move the trench, they are a permanent fixture.

I have no idea what variety I grow and neither does my father as they were his grandfathers and we’ve never grown anything different. I’ve experimented with different types in wigwams around the garden but, always saved these. I give away about 200 a year to the local gardening club to sell on as I have a lot of saved seeds generally. 

They get a little black fly some years and some rust towards the end of the season but, they never let me down.

What runners do you grow?
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
