Bought some more bean sticks from Jans, Portree today - really sturdy 6ft bamboo canes at only £2.99 for 10. Sometimes, we can get better value on the island than we can in Inverness!
So, now the runner beans are in the ground, and with a stiff framework for them to grow up, they should be OK (barring a summer storm of course...)
Also today bought some seed compost, and have planted some broccoli seed in pots. Have only had very limited success with broccoli in the past, but we do love eating it, so I thought it was worth another try. The brussels sprouts seeds I planted in pots the other day are already up and flourishing, by the way, and will need thinning down to one plant per pot quite soon.
Curly kale seeds have been very thinly planted straight into the soil. It's been so warm of late, I think they should germinate OK. Onion sets also in now.
Must take some photos!
