It is with regret that I announce the deaths last night of All the Year Round cauliflowers, which were sown in January, as well as the overwintering peas on the allotment. The peas didn’t look happy, though the 2 lots of broad beans (the ones that germinated) look happy enough. Its curious because on the back of my soil thermometer packet that broad beans want a slightly higher soil temperature than peas.
The overwintering peas were replaced by spinach Medania. This was also sown between the probably Hurst Greenshaft peas with a couple of lettuces, Belize and Drunken Woman, as well as some Boltardy beetroot.
The seeds my son sowed at his club last week have started to germinate: French Marigolds, Cosmos and Asters. I wonder how the rest of the group got on with theirs…
