Replacing Broad-Beans


I managed to fit in three very constructive hours on the allotment today.
  • I had sown some over-winter broad beans way back in December and they were showing signs of some enthusiastic growth before the Winter came along and decimated them. I filled the gaps with some new seed and I should have some consecutive crops of beans now. Provided the black-fly leave the later sown plants alone.
  • I weeded my onion beds and removed some celery plants that were left over and some beetroot that would have been too woody too eat. I plan to plant onion sets in the celery bed
Must do-:
  1. Sow early seeds.
  2. Dig bean trench.
  3. Weed, weed, weed.
