  • I have a small question to the broad-bean growers. If I remember correctly, Tilly you planted broadbeans, right? I have a few broadbean plants 2-3 feet high, lots of pink-and-black flowers but no beans. Do I hand-pollinate them or am I too late? TIA for the replies.

    Hi US, I've never had to pollinate them, they will have flowers and shortly after you will see the pods forming :)

    It's been really quite cold here today but we have done quite a lot of work in the garden. Peas and mange tout are going mad :):)



    Car all packed up for car boot sale tomorrow morning - plans have changed and I'm getting up with Mr T - I'm actually quite looking forward to it (not getting up but the sale itself :rotfl:). Float ready, carrier bags, coat hangers for a few clothes.

    Night, Tilly x

    Good luck :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Hiya, brrrrrrrrrrrwas it cold :eek::eek:

    However, we made £45.62 profit :T. Cleared out junk and still have 4 good things to put on eb@y.

    US, thanks for the FLW heads up :T.

    Froggy, you must have been listening as yes, I did offer to sell Mr T and DD on a couple of occasions, but no takers :rotfl:

    It was really good fun, if extremely cold. Lots of banter with the stall holders all around us.

    Came back and had a brandy and coffee to warm me up :)

    Mr T is going to the bank tomorrow morning :):):) and we can OP tomorrow night.

    I need to plant some geraniums now, otherwise our kerb appeal will be looking a little dodgy.

    Best wishes Tilly
