You can never have enough...

And we have rain. That gentle kind that every plant in the garden loves. It will bring on a nice couple of handfuls of beans I suspect for me and my neighbour. I planted half a dozen mixed varieties in tyres filled with potting mix and sheep pellets on the spot when the old compost bin had been, right on the boundary with the council reserve, thinking to take advantage of all that nutrient rich soil under the grass. They climbed the five wire fence with the help of a few recycled plastic wire netting pieces and have produced constantly all summer long. The neighbours told me beans would get stolen, but that has proved not to be the case, the reserve just doesn't have that many users. I suspect few people know it is there, surrounded as it is by well established homes. Which is probably why the trees are so huge, and the bird life so brilliantly varied.

Whatever it is, why are so blessed to have it to look out on and to stroll through. It makes the most magnificient back yard and compensates rather well for our tiny units...
