Ross playing at being Jack and the Beanstalk.

Each year I plant some Runner Beans in my containers as I like to pick and eat them when they are small and tender, rather than buy them from the shops when they are larger and tough and sometimes stringy.


I was about to cut down the bean stalks now that the Runner Bean season is at an end when Ross asked if he could have a go at climbing it like Jack did in the story of Jack and the Bean Stalk.

Am I half way up yet? It's quite hard going with all these stems and leaves getting in the way.

How high up am I? Am I nearly at the top yet?
