Leggy beans

True to usual form I sowed my CFBs too early and by the time I got to plant them they were probably a metre long and pot bound.   Now tell me, do you untwine the tangle of beans and plant up, encouraging the long tentacle up a pole, or do you trim the tentacle letting the plant shoot from the bottom.

Also, if pot bound,  do you tease out the roots before planting or not?

We have Veggie's weekly aspirational list which some of us remember to update, but if you work on a daily rather than a weekly basis, tell us what you have achieved today, it need not be growing related of course.

To start us off:

I've finished planting out the greenhouse with tomatoes and cucumbers,  continued planting CFBs but still have more to do.  OH stirred the current compost for me, bless him.

  Garlic Rust - storage
Posted by: PyreneesPlot - 31-05-2020, 02:15 PM - Replies (10)

Afternoon all.
I've just litfed all my garlc because the few spots of rust I saw at the beginning of the week have run riot. I've never had rust before and just wanted to check about storage.
I've read so far that -
You cannot store any infected bulbs.
You can store it exactly as usual, drying as normal.
You can store it but must remove all infected leaves before drying very, very carefully first.
Ummm   Huh 

Any experience of rusty garlic - it is a cracking harvest so it would be really annoying to lose it now!
Thanks [Image: 1f642.png]
