Peas and thank you's

The remains of the peas have now all been taken down and the juicier tops fed to a pair of grateful pigs.

The roots and some small nettles were dug back in and the soil given a dressing of blood, fish and bone.

In the empty space we have put up a wigwam of hazel poles and sown some late climbing French Beans... hopefully this will give us some crops before October when this part of the patch will be used for Autumn sown Onions, Shallots and Garlic.

The foliage on the Sante potatoes has withered and shrivelled back to almost nothing. I lifted one plant to see if there was any problems with the spuds. There wasn't, we have some very big bakers and I will leave the remainder in the ground until needed.
