I have learnt a valuable gardening lesson today.
When you think to yourself in May/ June, “there is no need to label what I’m planting here, of course I’ll remember what variety of pea / bean it is”, then think again!
Currently, we have glut of peas / beans ready, I planted a few different types and they only look slightly different. But once cooked, some are sweet and tender, whilst others are very stringy and slightly bitter. While raw, they are hard to tell apart.
Labels are the future! Or even a wee map drawn in my gardening book to remind me of what we planted where incase the label gets blown away / disappears!
