This is principally for my dear friend Carole who bought me some broad bean plants several weeks ago.
I’ve never grown them before, but look - SUCCESS!
Don’t think I’ll be harvesting a huge crop this year, but I am so chuffed that ANYTHING has come up.
On a completely different subject, Shelagh sent me the following quote which I think is so true.
Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the
letting of a little water.
Christopher Morley, writer (1890-1957)
Here’s hoping your hearts are light as a fluffy cloud.
And if they aren’t, that you are able to get some relief.

Oh, that's a lovely sentiment and quite apt for me at the mo. Your broadbeans look wonderful - now you can look forwards to the fun of popping them out their furry beds, oh and eating them.
Ooh I love broad beans - I hope you get a bumper crop!
Fantastic broadbeans. When do you get to eat them?!
I love that quote.

chris - well, Ive only got 3 so far but it's a nice idea - and hope life begins to cheer up for you.
Ak - I love them too!
RT - well, when they grow a bit!
Congratulations on the beans and the book - and hope himself gets better soon, if he isn't already.
Re: the insomnia, I'm having the same problem but from the opposite end. The only thing I can suggest, other than making sure you have dark curtains to stop you waking up when it gets light (we've hung a dark blue sheet folded in two across the window on two trouser hangers - not pretty, but effective), is try a long walk with Mollie and maybe a milky drink before you go to bed. My recommendation to help with getting to sleep in the first place is architectural planning. Design your garden, your perfect house or a room in your house (or a boat interior), complete with measurements - gets me every time :D
Em - thanks for that. Good advice! I will try it...
