leeks carrots and Scotland

I'm in snowy Scotland and the vegetable patches have a rest from me. These are the carrots and ,beside, as always a memeber of the alium family.

French beans in November

My good friend Snr A welded some steel bar to form a very handy/useful bean support.

Only one wee problem, i have planted dwarf-french beans and the support is some 7 ft tall!!!

The beans taste lovely and we'll use the supports for a summer crop - which i like so much with rice chicken and red peppers, and are a principal ingredient of the paellas around the costa blanca
