| The unusual Broad Bean Flowers |
In a desperate attempt to avoid working a stall at the Bank Holiday Carboot, Mrs 2K distracted me with promises of spending money so unusually we headed off to the boot fair as buyers. With hopes of topping up the veggie plant supply there was not much available and certainly nothing that we didn’t already have in abundance until we spied a display of broad beans.
Having previously had no intention of growing them but with an eye for a bargain I negotiated hard and paid the marked price of 50p for 2 plants.

We got back to Plot 27 and discussed where to plant them but unsure basically of anything to do with broad beans (even, let’s face it, if we like them) went on the prowl to again look at the neighbours. One friendly chap had the most wonderful planting of row upon row of beans (hope he knows that he likes them!) and we asked his advice. Well, how many do you have he asked to determine plant spacing, six we answered – he looked at us curiously and clearly did not compute – what six rows of his beloved plant, six dozen – what could they mean? No six plants we clarified whereupon he promptly took pity on us and give us his left over seeds. Now we have thirty six! - hope we like them!
