Steve, Thank you for your posts.  Delighted to hear that Jane can now breathe more easily.  Emotionally it is very tough on the patient, and therefore the loved one, when the chemo is postponed.  I do hope the rest of the treatment goes smoothly.  
Fabulous to see the wonderful veg you are growing.  We used to grow our own and then stopped many years ago mainly because our neighbour had enormous conifers in her garden which was home to an increasing number of magpies which just destroyed our crops for several years until we gave up.
Now we are in our new home I am growing soft fruit again and might think about runner beans and broad beans as you really cannot buy good stuff in the shops.
Best wishes
Liz
