Quite a few of the leaves have fallen off just leaving the stalks, the leaves that remain are very small, there is not a bud in site and they are all looking a bit on the yellow side. They have been plan...

I have grown some in guttering this year for the first time, I do this with my peas and have always had great sucess. I am just waiting a bit longer before I slide the beans out of the guttering and into the prepared trench.

Hi All,

has anybody tried one of the wheelbarrow water carriers yet?, some are sold under the name H2go.
