I love peas, just wish I could grow them better than the last year or so.
So today we planted 3 rows of peas, and half a row of beetroot to finish the row off.
Mange tout, Sugar snap and good old kelvedon wonder, we covered them with netting so hopefully the woodies will keep off.
Constructed this years runner bean frame today with some help from a few of the children.
Made from roofing lathes salvaged in good old allotment style, double thickness across the top to support the weight of all those beans .. hopefully.
I don't use canes seems a waste of money to me, good old string is the answer, beans happily climb string just as well as up canes.
