Default My climbing French beans

Are a disaster this year. I planted them in May, they refused to flower

and a few flowers now. Too late. Is it the weather?


Yes. Although I had quite a few beans, the cropping period was short.
I picked a few today though.

I've never known so many crop failures in a year. I think I will be
making a lot of green tomato chutney this year.

More rain to come on Wednesday.
