i cant wait to eat the beans
Do you steam them or eat them raw?
i always steam them,i steam all my veg......can they be eaten raw?
We can eat certain beans raw or cooked...so I wasn't sure!
hmmm,wonder what they would taste like? Maybe if they are young and just picked,i might look into that.

I was going to ask you about that problem. Apparently the Eco solution is to surround host as with coarsely crushed sea shells as S&S's don't like traversing the rough surface.
I also heard on a Chelsea Garden Show programme that there is a variety of Hosta the S&S don't like. Any clues?

I'm loving those photos of your gardens, Hayles, Skimomkey, Poisonivy &co.
I do like the cottage look. I would love to let 75% of our rearmost lawn grow wild with flowers etc left to their own devices, but the idea is constantly vetoed!
We need to start looking for low maintenance ideas though.

Richard i have tried crushed egg shells and coarse gravel but they still got to them,I'm afraid i have resorted to the chemical deterrent,if i hadn't there would be very little left now,i haven't heard of the variety they don't like but if i find it i will let you know.I was going to ask you about that problem.
