Sweet Peas

The sweet peas are at that glorious stage where, the morning after you pick the whole obelisk-worth of flowers...there's more open.

Sweet peas ( Ian 2013)

In addition to this, we've had an uneventful weekend, tidying up firewood, lifting the Radar over-wintered onions, the Germidour garlic, and the Elephant garlic (all looking good, and racked in the woodstore to dry over the next few days), and doing odds and ends.

We also lifted the Lad Christl potatoes, having taken up the Swift a little while ago. The yield's noticeably higher (16.8kg of Lady Christl, against 6.3kg of Swift), but not as high as I expected (which would have been about 20kg). They're also not looking fabulous: quite a lot of marking.
