Early harvest in Scotland

[Gourlaw]

Cutting Beans today. 40 acres cut over last 2 days. Not sure if we can claim the record for the earliest harvest this year or the latest from last year! MC off the meter but yielding circa 1.5 t per acre (dry)

Were they at the side of a main road I recall seeing some just before Christmas a68maybe?

 

[Godber]

Whats the colour like(staining)? Any germination? Many split pods?

 

[Gourlaw]

Colour not too bad. Need to dry slowly on drying floor to stop splitting. Not on A68. More south West of Edinburgh. Still 40 acres to cut if Storm Jonas or the pigeons don't get them. Neighbour has 180 still to cut.

When was that done? It's rained every day.

Think they where cutting on Saturday and Monday.
Saturday was a cracking dry day and Monday was windy and kept blowing the rain away.
