We don't seem to talk about Podded Peas much so now's your chance!
Do you grow them? Which varieties? Any tips? Are they worth growing.
Do you grow them to eat fresh, for freezing or for drying?

My son has built a fruit frame onto my raised bed that my blueberries grow in.
I’m very happy I can now get more ericaceous compost and replant 3 and 3 bushes and 1 cranberry bush in each section.

   

Ooh...sounds interesting

Lots of Dog violets in the garden now and I also have Dog daisies and Dog roses................but what does Dog mean in these names?

Without goggling, can you guess?

Ok everyone I need you using your imagination   .

Let’s pretend that halfway through the growing season you’ve got to.
 1 move every thing you’re growing 
 2 everything you grow has to down size to fish boxes and limited on space to put fish box. 
 3 everything you do grow can only be cooked on the hob ( if it needs cooking) 

Which varieties of veg do you grow?

Bob was telling me yesterday about some survey/ report/ program ( don’t know wasn’t paying attention to that bit   ) that says the average meal in a UK home takes 20 minutes to prepare! I find this a little disturbing. Does the whole country open a packet and wait for the bing of the microwave?! I find it hard because last night we had one of the quickest meals we do. A re heat roast with a few extra fresh veggies to bulk it up. It still took 27 minutes.
I have no Idea what our average time would be preparing a meal. It’s definitely more than 20 minutes! 
What about you?

Any ideas??
Just popped up in a pot of dead something.
I wondered about cow parsley but it looks to “fine and fancy” for that

I built a bat box today out of scraps of wood. Very simple to to. I might make a few more.

   

Anyone else made them.
