Sadly the tractor at Plotgate had serious engine problems and is out of action. We arranged to grow some rows of beans at Bridies Farm in Glastonbury.

We planted 9 rows with a push seeder on the new raised beds made from soil and peat dug from new ditches. A lot different to the hard clay soil at Plotgate. The beds had been tractor rotavated Will be interesting to see how the beans come along.

We also planted a few rows of beans at meadowsweet meadow. Beans were pushed into the ground by hand into ground that had be cleared using plastic sheet mulching.

Its always somehow amazing how quick the strong bean plants pop out the ground.
