I’m still struggling with the lurgy, but really couldn’t face achieving nothing with the day so this afternoon forced myself outside to rake a couple of barrows of mixed council green waste and home-made compost over a couple of metre or so of vegetable bed and planted out my broad beans. I’m still thinking it’s a bit on the early side given the recent weather, but the roots were coming through the bottom of their pots and they really needed more space, so now it’s done.
Thirty-six plants planted in all and I have saved the two smallest left over to cover losses during transplanting.
I watered them in well, though I’m not sure there was a need as we’re forecast another eight hours of heavy rain tomorrow.
