Various climbing beans are in the ground and the allotment greenhouse is planted up. With some peppers, marigolds and basil still to be added. #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #HomeGrown #NoDig #Allotment

A bed of lilac phacelia flowers and comfrey
form the border to three growing beds of climbing beans and peas within their rows of bamboo canes. Some dwarf french beans are under a white enviromesh cover. There are several plants of many varieties of beans which mostly are grown for dry storing their beans. There are three mainstay varieties of climbing french beans, two butter bean types, four heirloom varieties of climbing beans from the heritage seed library, borlotti beans, three varieties of bush beans and also carlin peas and Latvian peas.

A greenhouse planted up with six tomato varieties, three cucumbers, aubergines and two melons. Four green ex-food waste recycling bins are now used for storing harvested rainwater at greenhouse temperature. They and a green watering can are in the centre path.
