Where have you been...French beans?

After one night outside in the cloche, still standing tall

After my first unsuccessful attempt to sow french beans directly on the ground which turned out to be a no-show from the beans, I decided to start again, this time with indoor sowing with the last of my seeds. On cue, they sprouted and happily grew their second set of leaves on the windowsill of my toilet! So, it's time for them to live in their permanent home outside. With some cursory hardening which consisted of putting them outside in the shade for an hour which ended up as them being left forgotten in the direct sun for the entire day, they were considered ready to go out! It's been 4 days, they seem to be happy enough in their new home so its slug duty till they are better established for now.
