Frost

A pretty good frost a few nights ago melted the tender members of the garden.

I am disappointed that I did not harvest more of the runner beans for dinner.
They were late to produce and thinking that they would succumb long before they did I left them to dry for next years seed but they kept on making more. As usual I vowed to do better next year.
The seeds are a striking black with purple blotches. See below

Scarlet Runners take at least 100 days to produce edible beans. More work to prep than snap beans as they must have the strings removed, some grow them just for the flowers.
