You are joking I take it. It is practically snowing outside here today!
Visibility is too poor to see the Pennines and confirm if snow is
lying.


I sowed my runner beans today in pots in the greenhouse, in the hope
that in 6 weeks time (end June) they may be able to chance it outside.


6 weeks from sowing to planting?
Yes, I should think so. Up to 2 weeks to germinate, then 4 weeks growing time. Can't put them out until they're big and tough because I have too many slugs.
