Climbing or dwarf, pencil or flat pod, you're most welcome

How did you come across us?

And what led to you becoming an ex-pig farmer? (If that's not unbearably nosey )

Thank you for the warm welcome Bugs. Broad beans are my favourite home grown veg, I am also growing runner beans. I fell into pig farming by accident when travelling through S Africa, we're talking about 10 years ago now, I still had my itchy feet then and packed it up a couple of years later to continue travelling. I do miss the life and the pigs, fantastic creatures. Have now got suburban garden and Jim the Jack Russell dog is my only livestock, not that I plan on eating him!
This website is a mine of information, it's very good, I discovered it from the self sufficientish website. So are you the sort of bug to attack my beans or are you the friendly ladybird type bug?

I've just noticed your hugh pictures of ladybirds. Question answered I guess. I must make a point of being more observant.
Thanks for the warning Tahir!
