Located with a distant view of the River Deben in Suffolk and open to meadows. I am trying to merge the garden with the wild indigenous plants.

@joanboston have you tried spraying the blooms with water as I’ve heard this can help them set Joan?

I'm growing some as well but I haven't planted them out yet. Hopefully, compost will get delivered at the weekend and I can get them in the ground.

Runner beans planted today. Cleared a few old shrubs to make room for a bit of a kitchen garden

Mine are about the same size. I had to protect them from frost last night!
