Beanz Meanz

On our journey back to Porto Airport after our holiday in Galicia we stopped off at the market in Viana Do Castelo where we found this stall that was selling loose seeds. 

.

We bought a cup full of seeds that were labelled  feijao trepar... which we think means climbing bean in Portuguese, but are most likely to be butter bean seeds.

.

I can't recall ever seeing these bean seeds being offered for sale by any of the UK seed merchants !

.

We like growing beans down on The Patch, particularly those that can be dried and used over the Winter months, so these will be a useful addition.

We are getting ready for the 'Guildford in Bloom' inspection... assuming that it has not already been done !

.

So, it was a nice afternoon down at the patch where we sowed some biennial flower seeds for plants that should be ready for transplanting in Autumn.  We sowed Honesty, Sweet Rocket and Sweet William.

The picture below shows our shed and the grass path that we have been carefully cultivating.
