No oil seed rape here - cereal and potatoes mostly - and oh, one of the biggest flower growers in the UK!TrishWishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133314088190424463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523947263063587415.post-39023884657403542592015-07-18T23:07:58.055+01:002015-07-18T23:07:58.055+01:00Oh dear I hope they haven't nobbled my runner ...Oh dear I hope they haven't nobbled my runner beans.
