Nothing to report from our garden from the weekend: we were visiting Hazel and Alex. However, really good fireworks, a week early (to avoid competition), and fun with sparklers.
They also introduced us to asparagus peas (a legume, but a different genus to 'normal' peas and beans). I think we'll give them a go next year: they're ground cover, nitrogen fixing, and seem to yield well. The peas are nice sautéed or stir-fried. We also had some runner beans which they'd allowed to mature. Similarly, we might try leaving some bean plants to mature, and collect the beans for drying, rather than freezing all of them (relieves strain on the freezer, if nothing else!).
