The vegetable gardening has not been the best this year due to lots of rain and slugs etc.A few things have gone well though - runner beans have been superb. This is a White Lady, a personal record at 18 inches. The usual polestar variety I grow has been good with a heavy crop (80lbs ish from 20 plants) but some of the White Lady beans, which seem slower to develop have been huge but delicate, no stringy bits, and tasting like a good French bean despite the size.
