Tedious runner bean frame lashings

7/7/2015

 
I spent a long time this afternoon tying lashings on the runner bean frame. Having struggled to tie each cane to the wooden frame, John, my neighbour and a retired fisherman, showed me a simple clove hitch and half-hitch lock was perfectly adequate.
I finished off the bracing canes in double quick time!
However, before I embarked on that task I had done some harvesting. The October sown Savoy cabbages are finally hearting up and, since I need space for my cauliflower succession, I am pulling them up. I gave away two to neighbours and received in return a treasure chest of goodies.
One neighbour gave me some young spinach, another some radishes. Then a third offered me eggs and some early runner beans! - and my beans are not even halfway up the canes!
I cut 3 small calabrese heads and 2 small cauliflowers as well as a large savoy so, all in all,  was well loaded going home (dodging the police and fire engines heading for the big crash on Roeshot Hill!)
