No dig diary, 1st November 2021

I went outdoors this morning after some fairly torrential rain and quite stiff winds that are predicted to get stronger this afternoon to find my runner beans plants at an alarmingly jaunty angle. I therefore temporarily abandoned the plan to plant out my lettuces and set about stripping the bean plants off the supports and harvesting the remaining beans before the whole lot ended up on top of the sprouts. It wasn’t too bad until the rain started again. Fortunately it was just a relatively brief shower so that’s all sorted now other than taking down the supports, which can wait for slightly more pleasant conditions later in the week.
