Beans are easy to grow, but if you don’t plant them in the correct place, they can be a bit hard to harvest.
I did put up a nice bamboo frame, but then got mixed up with what beans I’d sown and by the time I noticed, the runner beans had turned into a creeping mass.
Still, it out competed the bindweed. Next year, if there’s bare ground, it’s getting a bean plant in it.
Despite the hot, dry weather the corn has done remarkably well. It started off pretty straggly and limp, but over the past month it’s really shot up.
It’s also produced decent cobs. Previously the cobs I’ve managed to grow have been malformed and inedible.
I might have picked these a bit early, I’ve left the rest to continue developing. The birds and creatures haven’t noticed yet.
