Humf is such a handsome boy! I'm building up to planting out my courgettes and beans - I've been very precious about them, religiously bringing them in each evening to avoid the chill! I feel very behind with the allotment at the moment, this happens every year. Start hectically sowing in April and quickly run out of room. I'm hoping to catch up this weekend! Thank you so much for the mention—such a pleasure to read, and lovely to be in such great company :)

I always feel behind at this time of year too! It’s mad isn’t it?! 💚

Now that's what you call a book tour! I wish I had your comforting guidance a few days ago, Kathy - my beans were excitedly planted out last weekend only to succumb a day or two later to the very cold evening temperatures. Thank you for the mention - especially in such esteemed company! Lost beans immediately forgotten!

Pleasure. She's a tricky fish, May. All that daytime sunshine and then a sneaky chill to finish off your veg at night. If it helps, I've found any beans sown directly now will most likely catch up with earlier ones anyway.

Am especially fine read in a quiet moment before a flat out day at Malvern show, so thank you. And for the mention
