Beans for miles

Homely Wife has been on holiday. This year we actually went away, to the South Island. Being homely sort people we don’t do this very often.

Holidays are supposed to leave you feeling rested. I’m not sure that this works for our family, all I seemed to get was bad dose of sunburn and grumpy children. But we have put all the pre-Christmas madness behind us.

While away I hadn’t organised for anyone to water the vege garden. I did regret this as it was hot a sunny where we were (hence the sunburn). When we got home we found evidence that this had not been the case at the homely wife mansion.

We had a lot yellow beans. Not quite as many as in this photo, but I picked 1.28kgs.

For those who want to grow a good crop of dwarf beans I planted Roquefort, from Kings Seeds.

And what do you do with 1.28kgs of beans. You put on your i-pod and chop, then blanch and freeze. This job is um.. not fun but I remind myself that I will reap the rewards in winter.
