Overwintering beans 'Meteor' went in tonight. Rather than a staggered double row, I tried three rows, 4" between each bean and then 8" between each row.

Most of the beans will be under a plastic cloche, and then the last foot and a half will be exposed to the elements. This year I was using fleece, and the Aquadulce Claudia didn't mind the odd -9 frosts we had in this area (with or without the fleece).

I'll try to remember to pick them in time next year too,...

The man on the tv said, if there is one thing you must do this weekend, its plant sweet peas. So into the propagator eight pots with 2 seeds each go.

Also into modules, Lambs Lettuce and cauliflower 'All year round'.

Stripped off all but five leaves from the two remaining tomato plants in the green house, see if that helps them ripen what small numbers of tomato's they have.

Gardeners Delight I think.
