Ah, French beans! Ken Crowther offers the wisdom of saving seeds or stewing the toughies. I say, let’s go full culinary adventure – French bean stews are the unsung heroes of the vegetable world, perfect for masking any questionable garden soil secrets. Who needs dahlias when you can have a hearty, fibre-rich meal that proves your garden isn’t just pretty? Plus, while we’re at it, let’s start farming potatoes under the stars and grow Brussels sprouts that can double as tiny Christmas trees. Gardening is hard work, but isn’t it great when you can eat the mistakes?quay random

Who knew French beans could be so controversial? Ken Crowthers advice on what to do with them when theyre done is right on cue – save those seeds or toss them in a stew! I, for one, plan to start a French bean debate at the next garden party. Who says you cant have a beanstalk battle? Plus, those dahlias Ken mentioned? Show them off like theyre the garden celebrities they are! Who doesnt want automatic pot watering systems? Id probably water my plants more just to check the system. And remember, if you like Kens tips, buy him a coffee – because every good gardener needs a caffeine boost!football.bros
