THE WEATHER SHOULD GET BETTER FROM NOW ON

What a .lovely 3 days of weather we have had here in pontypool. It has been that good myself and my son have done more than we thought we would do, we got the bean sections all done ready to put the canes up which does not take long  and just to let you all know that in the first row i will be planting the bean called FIRESTORM. In the seconed row i will be  growing beans called MOONLIGHT. I have not grown these before so it will be interesting to see the results. By the side of the beans i will be growing  my onions in buckets which will be a total  of 18 and the name of them is a onion that i grew a long time ago called showmaster and i did get good results. The reason why i am growing them is that i was to late in sowing any onion seed  so i ordered the showmaster plants. Perhaps i should not have said it was to late to grow onion seed but if you want to grow big onions for shows you do have to sew the seed early to give them a good 22-24 weeks growth. after saying that my son let us try and see how a few late sown onion seed will turn out so we planted about a dozen i will give an update on them at a later date. I have changed my mind as to which tomatoes i am going to grow and decided to have a go with SHIRLEY-AND SWEET100 FI and a few old the old faithful GARDENERS DELIGHT. As to the carrots i will be growing long red intermediate in pipes which are 5ft long and 6 inches wide these will not be for showing but just to see i can get them longer than the last ones i grew which were 4ft-2inches long. The stump carrots i am going to grow is the sweet candle  and they will be grown by the side of the onions. It is getting late now so i will close and give more info later on.
