Notes

I've been planting bush beans in odd corners around the garden. Today I planted a few in a big tub where there's some chard going to seed, a few in a tub that has some parsley running to seed only taking up half the seed, and a few more in amongst some of the newer chard that's planted in a couple of old rectangular recycling tubs. I've previously planted some around the zucchini and chillis. My hope is that they'll do their nitrogen-fixing thang, diversify the planting a bit (I like things mixed), and offer a bit of density/humidity to the chillis which were looking a bit isolated and dry standing in tubs on their own. If any of them get too overwhelming before they actually produce beans, well, I'll just pull them and lay them down as nitrogen-rich mulch.
