And you moved here???

I planted out one and three quarter rows of broad bean plants in the patch, from the edge otherwise I'd have been covered in mud. Something was chopping/pulling off the tops of the young plants. Not sure whether it's birds or mice. Anyway the new plantings have net over and a mouse trap  underneath.  The remaining bean modules are also protected. That reminds me,  I didn't put a trap near them, must traipse out again I suppose
I also potted on some sweet peas.  Is there a sweet peas that has vetch like leaves, or am I nurturing weeds?

Weirdly, I’ve got two “vetch like” plants popped up in a packet of Lidl sweet peas too!.
We shall have to compare notes later on JJB (I’m assuming you kept yours). 
these are taller and spindlier than all the other germinated sweet peas. They also have a reddish stem.
It’s not a blown in seedling - they were all indoors waiting to be pricked out.

I'll take a picture this morning. Unfortunately I can't remember offhand what packet of seed it came from, I'll see if I can figure it out.

Here's a pic and it was out of a packet of Wilko seeds either Royal mixed or Bouquet mixed

You know what they say - come for the postdoctoral fellowship, stay for the British partner.

Famous old saying, that.

My bokashi set was delivered today. Looking forward to getting started.

Oops, trying to post again too quickly. Sorry, forum, I promise I'm not a bot.

Good pic. Yes they look like mine. I’ll hang on with them till they flower - just in case!

The downside is that all their brothers in the same pot were normal pea type plants.  We shall just have to wait and see.

Cut the grass, weeded a couple of veg beds and tidied up between the quarry tile paths.
