Shored up the beanpoles on the allotment. They were still standing from last year but needed lashing together with twine and garden wire. Broad beans should be planted as part of a crop rotation cycle but runners seem to do fine in the same spot.

 I sowed twenty one beans in pots from the dried pods I saved [see entry dated 15th. May] and fourteen are ready to go. Hopefully a few more will germinate as there are eighteen poles; also it might be useful to have one or two spares if any get slugged.
