it would be about this time of year
that we would help my friend
Nicola tidy her allotment:
harvesting the fruits and vegetables
she lovingly grew:
this year we grew borlotti beans
from beans collected from there,
last year:
continuing her green idea:
a legacy:
I love their beautiful red dappled skins:
sometimes called cranberry beans because
of that colour:
some we will eat tonight:
a veggie version of this:
the rest we will dry for later:
