A neighbour mentioned that wind was forecast for Saturday so I quickly staked out my last row of broad beans using the poles from my broken set of drain rods, just enough with ten bright red plastic poles! I also finally solved how to tie the strings between the stakes with minimal knotting and duplication of runs between stakes.
Finally I harvested a large handful of strawberries, the first of the season, after watering those plants wilting after being disturbed when I weeded the patch on my last visit.
Then I could go off to my weekend wedding with a clear conscience.
