The ‘random peas’ are poking their heads up from their egg-carton beds. Another fortnight or so and I’ll plant them out against MyMan’s newly-painted frontyard fence (made of repurposed roofing iron) before planting another succession set.
The challenge is to see how long I can keep them going before the heat hits. They obviously reseed easily if my window boxes are anything to go by and I guess they’re good green manure if nothing else.
According to my Diggers guide, I can start planting beans in the next month, so that’ll be the next challenge. I might even intersperse beans and peas just to hedge my bets…and hedge my beds.
