Beans and Peas

I've been saving the seed from these beans for a while now. They started as roquefort, a yellow variety. But it seems like they have started to cross with the purple podded variety I also have on the go.They taste great,so I'm not that worried.At least they are still a bush variety while the purple podded beans are definitely climbers.

The sno peas have started to produce before the sugar snap,which doesn't usually happen. This year though a deer go into the vege patch and chomped on the sugarsnap peas. They have bounced back, and are starting to flower again. The fence around the garden is a 3' high chicken wire fence. Obviously not a deterrent for the deer. However extensions screwed into the corner posts and fine bird netting draped around the garden to about 5' high seems to be a good deterrent. They don't seem to like the almost invisible bird netting, so stay away from it.
