First crop

I'm quietly pleased with my first crop of home grown peas. I've never grown anything edible before so I'm quite pleased with myself! A note for next year, plant them out earlier and plant some more later on so I have a longer crop. I'm not sure how successful my tripod of canes were either so I think next time I'll tie them to single canes.


I also scattered some flower seeds which came up quickly only to be dug up by a little critter. I'm guessing as there were a few nuts in the hole that it is probably a squirrel...

I have been away teaching for four days and I love to come back and see what's happened in the garden while I have been away. The potatoes have grown another few inches and some have flowers on them now. I'm sad my sweet pea wall is somewhat of a failure. Twice as many plants next year and again plant them earlier.

No signs of the tadpoles or any frogs though....
