Times past
I was just thinking about my younger days when we didn't have fruit
and veg flown in from all round the world. We used to grow dwarf French beans as they would crop 2 weeks earlier than runner beans sown on the same date. French beans take 10 weeks from sowing to picking whilst runners are 12 weeks. We used to pick Broad bean pods when they were finger size and slice them like runner beans, the first green beans of the season. The first English Strawberries would make £1.00 a pound as would the first English tomatoes. Eggs were always more expensive in the winter as the chickens in those days tended to stop laying in the winter. Ah! Those were the days. David Hill Abacus Nurseries |
