Well its been a while but I ventured back to the plot today to ow some Aquadulce broad beans under glass. First I had to harvest the leeks thatwere taking up space in the bed I wanted to use.
After lifting the leeks and hand weeding I tickled over the surface with the fork and raked it level. The seed packet supposedly had 50 seeds in it so I made eight rows of six seeds and dibbered each position.From then on it was a simple job to drop a seed at each station and push them a couple of inches into the soil with my finger.
Once that was done I covered the bed with glass frames.
I cleaned the leeks for my Daughter and put the roots and top of the leaves in the compost bin.
