Finally, I have a runner bean!
After a pretty disappointing slug and snail laddened summer, my last remaining runner bean plant has finally managed to produce a couple of beans. The final sprig of flowers was far enough up the plant that the pesky little slimy critters having chomped their way through all the other foliage, probably didn't bother going any further so the plants that are left have a few leaves at the top.
Next year needs a concerted effort earlier in the year to stop them taking over.

Hi Clare. A low crop of Runner Beans here at the HoBB Gardens this year. Global warming created the clouds... blocked the sun ... over watered everything. Most of the snails and slugs remained asleep through 2008. Hopefully next year's growing season will be great - we have a new supply of horse manure about to be scattered on the veg.plots and dug in.
Today's Word Verification is radishe - now THAT's spooky on the one and only Edible Garden blog
All best,
