When I was at the Hill yesterday, I saw that your broadies are ahead of mine - you'll be eating them as 'mangetout' within the week if you should wish, I think.<br /><br />Well spotted, Nic - that gave me a real laugh! Monastic potatoes! (or perhaps it that they don't much chance to get much of a word in round here?!). And I suspect that your peas from Bag End are my grandchildren, as it were - I think that you'll love them. :)<br /><br />Things want to grow, Croila, and don't forget that you get a much longer day length at your higher latitude than we do - I think that your peas & sweetpeas will be fine. (For me, they'd damn well have to be if I'd gone to the trouble of stringing up the wigwams!) <br /><br />Thank you, Bilbo! April is a great month for neatness - all that prepped soil and optimistic veg seedlings! As long as I ensure that the List is headed 'Things to do Today', and not 'Things to do At Some Point In My Lifetime' it is not daunting! Don't worry about being behind, they're still here ready when you are. :)Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-71094397707272848932011-04-21T07:29:55.768+01:002011-04-21T07:29:55.768+01:00How lovely of Brian, you do have a nice group on y...How lovely of Brian, you do have a nice group on your lottie. Everything is looking brilliant for so early in the year.<br /><br />Not sure I am happy that You Did Everything On Your List! Humph, please move north and help me with mine.<br /><br />(oh, and whilst you're about it, please give me enough hours in the day not to get so behind with your lottie and quilting blogs ....)BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-54355478481141980292011-04-11T00:00:02.974+01:002011-04-11T00:00:02.974+01:00I planted out some peas and sweet peas yesterday a...I planted out some peas and sweet peas yesterday and had the boring job to do. Except, I may have wasted my time because I'm not entirely convinced the spots where I've planted them will get enough direct sunshine. I guess that's the probem with growing stuff in a weirdly shaped back garden compared to an allotment.

I love his dry sense of humour too. <br /><br />I'm hoping to get down to my plot tomorrow to do some string winding around the pea wigwams too!chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456254553936196609noreply@blogger.com
