Today we planted out the pea, deciding that it was still too early to plant out the beans. We are experimenting with weed control plastic. There seems to be at least two types of weed control fabric, cheap this polythene with small holes and thicker cloth-like fabric that probably lets water through slightly better.
We have also put some wire fence above the peas so that they have something to grow up.
The peas and runner beans were grown from seed inside the conservatory, and planted out on the 15th of April.
We have also grown a selection of tomato plants from seed and they have now been planted in the middle bed of the polytunnel. Hopefully we will have no more frosts this year, but if we do, the polytunnel should maintain the raised beds above freezing. We have some fleece just in case.
This is a quite old picture of the inside of the polytunnel, the washing machine has now gone and it's all been tidied up a bit. More photos to come.
All this work in the garden is just what I need when recuperating
