Unfortunately we have recently given up growing tall main crop peas
as, due to the hot dry summers lately, they just give up before
cropping. Now only plant "earlies" both early and late. Always get
some maggot attack, even on the earlies towards the end of their
season, but as it's just for us we throw the "bad" ones away and
always have plenty that have no damage.

We're converting some of our plots to deep beds, and even on the only
partly converted ones we're getting excellent results - admittedly
with a limitless water supply which is sadly only available to a very
lucky few of us. Not bragging.........well only a bit ;~}}
These are our Alderman this year with runner beans in the background.

oops.........just noticed you can see our onions on one of the pics -
I'm not proud of those, the later heat treated sets were much better
though.
