After harvesting some broad beans the other day and putting them in the vegetable soup I decided to pick some every few days, chop and freeze them. A great idea, this way we shall have some different beans to cook in the winter.

Today was also planting tomatoes day – I had another seven plants at home and no room anywhere. The greenhouses on the allotment are full so I decided to plant these in the large net cage, there is a square of ground just big enough.

They are strong enough to survive the move but just to be on the safe side I put a surround made out of garden fleece, just to protect them from the wind. I’m sure they’ll be fine, I could even leave it there all the time the tomatoes are there, no harm done.
