In decades to come we'll all be eating insects and grubs

Frees up the bed space by late June so can I get something else in there (last year it was savoy cabbage, the year before that carrots). By the time the peas are done I'm sick of them anyway, and it's not long before the French beans start cropping.

I've just sown the last of my peas for pods today. I don't know if it's getting a bit late to avoid the moth, but we'll give it a shot. I can't remember getting loads of peas in the past. Maybe we've been eating them at the plot before getting them home.

What do you call early?

Usually Mid February under a mini polytunnel. This year I sowed my first batch direct at the start of March then again in mid-March.
