French beans under cloches

[Jimmy]

I shall put up the cloche early to get the soil warmed.
Put some in the GH propagator such they are ready for end of April.
And then play it by ear when to plant under the cloche.
Should be fun (or not).

Why not sow half a dozen seeds every week, then see which ones work. You may lose some this year, but at least next year you will know!

I'll sow a few on 15th January when I sow my next batch of mangetout and broad beans and every 4 weeks thereafter for the rest of the year.
I'm not afraid to experiment

Just now watching Gardeners World on BBC 2
Monty Don jobs for the week said plant out you french/runner bean plants now !
Mystified

[Scarlet]

Was it a repeat programme?

[Jimmy]

Was it a repeat programme?

Probably, but you would think jobs for the week should specify the date!

You're too late Jimmy, they should have been planted in 2015 BBC Two - Gardeners' World, 2015, Episode 11

Just looked it up, Jimmy, was a repeat first broadcast 29th May 2015.

Snap VC. Clearly we both have too much time on our hands.

[veggiechicken]

Nah, we (and Scarlet) are just clever.

[Scarlet]

Excuse moi? I think I got in first !

[veggiechicken]

I've edited my post to show that you, Scarlet were included in the "We"
Please don't shout at me any more

[Scarlet]

Thank you - I won't! Not on your birthday!

[Jimmy]

Hmm
Well I never did like Monty Don, to many flowers and arty stuff.
Should concentrate on veg and not compostable material.
