If you have a shortage Mange...you could compromise by using paper towel inners and cut them down! Or Send out an SOS to all your family to save their loo rolls for you. Newspaper a good substitue tho'. I must point out to OH he can use the loo rolls for his tomatoes too Ash.

Thanks MT will try again next year.........am fed up with keep giving my beans away as I just love them from the garden. So you trim the edges? Rinse them? then chop and freeze them? Have I got it right? Hope this works.

Mayday - we also keep all loo roll inners for using with runner beans. It really does work doesn't it. The simplest of things............

Hi Mangey
Please could you give me the name of the climbing French beans you grew? I would be really interested.

Last year I grew runner beans, ordinary French beans (not terribly successfully), tomatoes, herbs and rocket. I was so fed up with paying the high price of rocket in the shops that I decided to grow it. My tip would be to sow a new row every week, this means that you will have a constant supply throughout the summer.

I am thinking of growing courgettes in pots this year. Has anyone tried this?
