Good sisters
« on: October 22, 2017, 10:06:32 »
Got Cyprus and Hamburg beans from HSL and both seem to have been good growing up sweetcorn.  Cyprus in particular produces a light vine and small tasty beans.  I grazed a lot raw.  But the sweet corn with beans growing up them did not get attacked by rats or whatever it was that where eating the cobs on our site.

The Cyprus beans dried to a very small pod, so took some finding.  But I ended up with 18 pods which will give me about 100 beans so many more than the 10 I started with.

And I got a great pumpkin.  Though it ended up under the red currants.

Hi Digeroo, Interested in your beans Cyprus and Hamburg. Had a look on HSL and assume you mean the organic web site? I couldn't find a mention of them there and I like to try some thing different. Do they have a name?
