A gap in the rain!

Finally at 5 o'clock I realised the rain had stopped. With the runner bean plants still in the car from yesterday, I nipped down to the plot before it could start again. I needed to put in the canes before planting but had to scrabble around for old ones some of which were too short. However I shall replace them in the next day or so before the plants get to entwined. Grown in deep Rootrainers, there were just enough 'Moonlight' plants to fill half the double row but some of them were a bit weak and I had to separate those where two seeds had both germinated to get enough plants. The rest of the row was planted with 'Firestorm' where almost all the cells had two good seedlings. They are growing so strongly I felt I could risk leaving both to grow on. Purists would say to remove one seedling but that is difficult for me to do when they are a foot or more high.
This is the second sowing of 'Moonlight' and both have been problematical so, if 'Firestorm' is good to eat I can see me abandoning the former next year.
