Visibility is too poor to see the Pennines and confirm if snow is lying. - I sowed my runner beans today in pots in the greenhouse, in the hope that in 6 weeks time (end June) they may be able to chance it outside.- 6 weeks from sowing to planting? Yes, I should think so. Up to 2 weeks to germinate, then 4 weeks growing time. Can't put them out until they're big and tough because I have too many slugs. I normally plant out 4 weeks after sowing. No more than 10 days to germinate. I put the seed into a jam jar of hand hot water then leave them over night by when they have swollen to full size, then sow into pots and keep them warm in the greenhouse, the same treatment when I am planting into the soil.. |

Nothing to lose(I keep seed). We have planted another crop of peas for September picking in previous years, we use "Early Onward" for both early and late crops. Yes, but Early Onward does not work for me. 0 to 3 peas per pod! I must say that they have a very lovely taste. Baz |
