My dwarf beans did just what your runners did ( to the extent I'd just BOUGHT some and realised I had kilos to pick and eat!

It feels right to be blogging again as autumn approaches. Your post was beautiful and everything I love about country living was present from the panic over produce (thank god for freezers as ours is also rapidly filling up with plums, damsons, etc for a calmer time if such a thing exists). we are indeed lucky though luck needs much work to keep it going. xPipanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048984447721169350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-3657476216236833572011-08-28T09:16:56.603+01:002011-08-28T09:16:56.603+01:00too many raspberries?
