    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.

    Ta Sjoerd :)

    The freezers are full of cabbage :D

    Harvested the Celery today, and some tomatoes. The larger ones are from last year's plant.

    Very slow so far Sjoerd, been too cold at night for the toms. I'm sure we were picking earlier than this last year.

    I sprayed everything against the blight :eek:
