garlic, beetroot and strawberries today.
Looked at the peas to see if any were ready - no but realised they had shot up. Hurst greenshaft saved seeds. Supposed to be 30" tall but some are now 5' and still growing and laden with pods and flowers. Growing so big is a bit of a problem as I am growing climbing beans behind them which will struggle to get above them now. Also they have way outgrown the support I put in for them and if they start to sag, mice could be attracted.
It is a very fertile bit of land where they are. I had a bumper crop of spuds 2 years ago, then onions last year (70kg for 300 sets).
