A chance conversation with an elderly chap weeding his front garden yesterday yielded me some climbing beans, sweetcorn & squash plants
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I walked past his garden with my dogs & he said hello & that he hadn't seen a B&W springer for ages, he used to own one, we got talking about the garden & I said I was off to the GC to see if I could pick up a few bits & said he had loads of surplus odds & ends that he couldn't bear to throw on the compost heap just yet so it was my lucky day
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
he helped me take them home & we spent an hour sat out on my patio with a cup of tea & a slice of cake (well two actually!) it was the most plesant of afternoons I'd spent in ages!
so on to my next question!
What kale & Broc would you recommend for a small veggy bed? that I could sow now?
