Looks like you are well ahead, David, especially with the Broad Beans. I'm intrigued by your Perpetual Spinach. I have grown this a couple of times, but it didn't look like yours. Mine was much more akin to Swiss Chard. What variety is yours?
ReplyDeleteOur runner and climbing French beans are just about ready for planting out. I'm not tempted to go for early crops as we always seem to have a late frost which doesn't do the plants any good at all.
ReplyDeleteMartyn we are a few hundred miles south of you so can away with a few weeks earlier but I do sow a back up crop just in case
DeleteMark my spinach doesn't usually look this is either more like chard not dude if the variety will let you know when I do
ReplyDeleteDon't the bees just love the cornflowers? When our beans do go out it's a lottery with the slugs heading their way.
ReplyDeleteI am trying organic slug pellets for the first time this year fingers crossed
