    Could be worth a go Sjoerd :) I just topped the remaining pots up to the top with bark compost.

    Ta Pac :) Thinking about next years already :)

    Zigs— mate, what a shame about your tuinbonen. Tch!
    However, the other beans and courgettes harvested look very good. Is your freezer filling up a bit?

    Ta Sjoerd :) It was fun growing them. Many more beans today, we have 3 freezers now and an emergency generator for when the power grid fails (as it already did in Spain/France/Portugal :eek:)

    We dry a lot of food too, keeps a long while like that.

    More pickings today :)

    Great presentation, Zigs. I really enjoy seeing harvest pics. You folks are doing quite well there.
    It is a good thing that you have got the freezers with a back-generator.
