I prefer french beans so we stopped growing runners.
I like french beans too - but 'er indoors prefers runners so I grow both - usually Cobra - five or six plants on a wigwam will feed an army ! They are climbers and seem to do much better for me than dwarf ones .. They freeze really well as well. I think the key to growing good beans is lots of compost in the soil ... and big crops are encouraged by regular picking,I prefer french beans so we stopped growing runners.
Our quinces are way too hard to eat fresh but interested in how you bake them and eat themQuinces are back on the menu.. Fresh or baked.. Autumn is here..
My mother bakes the apples at 150°C until they turn a toasted color. If they are acidic, remove the stem and make a conical cut in the upper part that you fill with a little sugar.Our quinces are way too hard to eat fresh but interested in how you bake them and eat them
Washing quinces, then put them dry on cooking paper in backing plate - in the oven. Temperature first at 200C then later reduce to 180C. They will get some brownish color, but real test when they are baked is to just stab with fork - if is still hard, let it bake for some time. When they are finished they get soft inside ( after peeling off, we eat them with small spoon later).Our quinces are way too hard to eat fresh but interested in how you bake them and eat them
