No Weather for a Dwarf Bean

By Danielcarruthers

They have still to make it to the greenhouse, instead remaining on the kitchen windowsill where they are standing on a heated gravel-filled tray. I would love to say that the reason they are flowering and even setting a bean or two is because I am such a talented gardener, but I think the truth is that the poor things are desperate to set seed and depart this chilly world!
