PS I see you're on clay, will it be warm enough for peas yet...you'll soon
find out




I'm on clay and flint and would recommend starting the beans and peas in
either pots, or those fibrous pots that you can put into the ground .I
think it's too cold at the moment (South Bucks) weeds aren't yet
germinating in my deep beds, though bittercress has appeared in my plant
pots!
