Sunday 12th October 2008

The weather was lovely today - it could have been Summer ! We went down this afternoon and planted all the broad bean plants (Aquadulce Claudia) we had sown at home in the big square bed on the new plot. We have 3 double rows with 11 plants in each row (66 plants !), and the whole lot cost us 70p !!! So fingers crossed they will do OK over winter.

Henry was very busy watering the garlic, onions and the spring cabbage, while Dave & I rigged up a cane/twine structure round the broad bean plants to try and prevent them being buffeted by the wind. Then Henry gave them a good water too.
