From this I get approx thirty good bunches a week for twenty/twenty five weeks. Plus about twenty bunches of sweet peas per week during peak season.
It’s about the biggest area I can manage because I only sell one day per week and that’s about the maximum number of bunches I can cope with tying up.

When we were both employed Saturday and Sunday were 'working' days, usually in the garden. If we had stopped to eat midday, we'd never have got anything done, so weekend meals were usually rapid ones. Sunday was historically a getting down and dirty day so we would need baths to clean up and get ready for Monday work, so once again easy quick meals. Never bothered too much with roasts, except at Christmas.

I tried cover them and planting on top. That didn't work so now I try to dig it out every year. It does mean that I only really have a "summer" garden.
