long range forecast with us is sunny, cloudy at times, but no frost. So the first batch of peas went in yesterday, not as many as i'd have liked as something had been helping themselves in my shed, happily, my tom cat(name may be wrong lol) multi catch mouse trap from small holder supplies, came up trumps . put 120 plants out yesterday, and was only enough to do 3/4 of my first row. I have in excess of 350 seedlings sprouting in my now "mouse free" shed, so i hope will be more than enough to finish that row off and easily do my other row, fingers crossed.

 

My beetroot seedlings are up about an inch or so in the shed now, would you put them out now or wait a little while. in some cells two have come up so i eased a couple out to transplant them now, but the root system is down to the bottom of the cell already, any advise on how soon these should go out gents, size wise ??.

 

Thanks. Really interesting thread.

put my second crop of peas in today, planted out my beetroot seedlings yesterday, first early souds starting to push through. Onions are also showing a couple of inches now. Waiting on my parsnip seedlings to show a bit more and they'll be going out. My runner bean plants have erupted in the shed almost overnight, wont me very long, they'll be going out. I watered the bean trench and sticks tonight just to get a bit extra moisture into the ground ready for when they go out. Theres plenty of wet manure under to head for lol

[Guest norseman]

aw that's 2 rows of apple trees and a row of pears. theres wire running along the posts, which the branches will be trained to grow along them. the posts will be roughly the height of the trees. and also for support .
