Cleared the "early " tomatoes out of GH4 as they were just about finished. Picked the remaining tomatoes to ripen indoors. May sow some more "early" toms soon to keep the succession going to the end of the year.
Tried again to plant the CFB but the ground was still too solid. So I turned to PlanB and PlanC. Plan B was putting canes into an open bottomed tub (a slice from a blue water bin) into which I had already dumped some old compost from last year's pots. Planted lots of beans there , but, still had beans left over so...........Plan C - set up 3x30ltr pots on the patio, against GH4. Put some homegrown bamboo canes in the pots and planted all the remaining beans - these were Borlotti.
I've never grown CFB in pots before, only DFB . There'll be no excuse for not keeping these watered as they're alongside the waterbutt. The Plan B beans will have to get by on their own.
