Yesterday I picked runner beans and also Peas, and if the frost holds
off I should be picking for another couple of weeks.
Both the peas and beans have a few flowers on them , but I hold out no
hope of picking for Xmas day.
I should say that they are from Late sowings, and are growing outside.

I have wondered about sowing runner beans over a longer period, but this
year has been very good and I was picking up to a week ago.

We came back from deepest Wales on Staurday and dined off runner beans.
There's at least one more picking on the plants. I know from experience that
they won't last much longer but it's not bad!
