bean!

Being on maternity leave from a crazy busy job has given me the chance to try a few things I have been meaning and wanting to do for years (hence the blog) and also we finally planted a herb and veggie garden.  Yesterday there was no sign of nothing in the bean patch - nada.  I suspected that they were dead- literally just dirt - but today we have beans shoots!! It has opened up in the last couple of hours and is heading for the trellis - go little bean go! (feeling strangely proud of small bean shoot and excited by its progress - either I need to get out more or this is the reason people get so passionate about gardening)
