Somewhat Belatedly This Year...

The old crops have given way to make room for the new sowings and that means the last of the tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. It has been a rather mild Autumn, which undercover has meant warmer temperatures for those non hardy crops. So to FF the compost bins are now overflowing and the beds in the poly are cleared for the new season. As I seek to draw a close on 2013 cropping, I look forward to 2014, which means an early taste of Spring - namely peas and broad beans.
Direct sown today were Douce Provence and Oskar pea; also Aquadulce Claudia and The Sutton broad bean.
