National Beanpole Week 25 April - 3 May


I hadn't really thought about the ecological implications of using bamboo canes in the garden until this month's issue of RHS magazine, The Garden, so just thought I'd post notice of this event.

"Gardeners who normally reach for the nearest bamboo cane to tie up beans and sweet peas can find out how to use home-grown beanpoles instead, at a series of events for National Beanpole Week (25 April - 3 May).

Hazel beanpoles and pea sticks will be on sale at events throughout the country at which coppicers will also demonstrate traditional woodland crafts."

Interesting. I grow bush beans, so don't use poles.

Speaking of National (whatever) Week, I found out yesterday, too late, that it was Do No Housework Day here.....

What a shame, Eileen!!!

I remember having hoots when I heard on the radio last year about "National Speak Like a Pirate Day" aaaa-haa Jim lad!

Anyone else heard of "odd" National Days???? Might have to do a new thread to catch attention. Beanpoles might not interest everyone!
