Summer is offically here and boy don't we know it! Summer storms, rising temperatures and endless weeds. This week Peter and Tim discuss their week on the plot, some holiday reading and importantly beans! From their fascinating Incan history, to planting, cooking and storage. Peter also shares his creative tips on making an arch to best support the beans.  In the final section, Peter poses the question for the week: apart from plastic pipe, what do people use to make hoops (for covering) that's cheap, economic, recycling or reusing?
