Broadly speaking, the beans are now gone

The broad bean crop has now been harvested. This is one of the more important crops for us as the beans have a good level of protein. This means we can have beans as an alternative to meat, thereby cutting down our meat consumption. We're not going vegetarian but we need to recognise that meat production is more resource intensive and takes up more land than growing the equivalent arable crops.

The beans are now in the freezer though some will be used tonight in a curry.
