  • Random Planting - Ummm

    Not sure if Uncle Snadger will approve.......

    After my success this Spring with my overwintering Feltham Firsts I decided to plant a packet and a half this year. Inspired by Snadger's randomness I scattered some peas and poked them in. Sod this I thought it's gonna take yonks so.....

    I threw the whole packet over the bed, got my rake and raked them in

    Should make harvest interesting

      I've got lots of self-sown purple podded coming up - have decided to leave them and see what happens over the winter...

        You could always use a few as pea shoots for a winter salad?

          It's the non-adhereance to spacing that will be interesting.

          I found my leeks yesterday as well after clearing all my beans. Somehow I have to fit in 200 onions around them and in various other 'spaces' in the garden.

          Maybe this is extreme randomness

              Nowt wrong with a bit of extreme randomness!

              That's what I meant with using as pea shoots - if they crop up somewhere TOO random, or if the spacing is too cluttered you can always just curb them a bit, but not waste them! I like the idea anyway, let us know how it goes?

                Hey. I'm a gardening hero. For years I've been telling people to ignore the packet. Just plough the fields and scatter the good seed etc. Great. Just go for it.
                Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?

                Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
