The middle one is broccoletti.

Onions, lettuce, rocket, leeks, garlic and the biggest or oldest radish in the suburb :)

As far as I know bush beans are just not climbing ones, I’m waiting to see! The sticks are for support, a hint that was on the bush pea packet, so as I had a lot of twigs from our half dead silver birch I thought they could all share them :) The birds can’t get to them anyway, they’re in the birdnet cage.

Thanks for all your replies peoples, :)

i was wondering if the beans were frost tender.

20 cents says they are.
still a crop under that birdnetting can probably be protected with clear plastic.

OK Pepe, you’re on ! 20 cents it is. Living on the edge, aren’t we ?? LOL

lol and i heard this

I’ve just dug up the 2 leeks, they were good ones :) Now in a big pot with bacon bones, mixed vegies, celery and soup mix beans. It smells sooooooo nice.

i lived my life believing the only frost hardy beans are broad beans – so its worth that princely sum to be proved wrong.
