Hello


 Sown on 27 January these broad beans are off the heat and out into the greenhouse to toughen up before they are planted out at the allotment.

  1. You are well in front of me. I haven't sown any seeds yet. Must make a start soon.

    1. Two points. I don't do any autumn sowing - except garlic and I now grow alliums from seeds, not sets, so I have to start early.

  2. Hello back. I'm planting edible podded peas today.

    1. Same family. (Do you call them snap peas/snow peas/mangetout? or just edible podded peas)

    2. Well, I had two kinds so I used edible podded to cover them both. For me, snow peas are flat, and snap peas are round. I plant these because the ones in the store are stringy and overgrown. I like the other kind of pea called English pea frozen and labeled petit pois. We used to eat the large mealy English ones almost every night when I was young.

    3. 'Marrowfat' is the adjective for the traditional mealy ones. I like petit pois too, although the name of the variety I grow - 'Waverex'- doesn't sound quite as exciting as the French name.
