Welcome to the Mudketeers Diary, find out what the team are up to on the plot.
Feb 9th 2017
I sowed some sweet peas today. I like to grow these among my beans. I could have sown them in autumn but didn’t get around to it. I sowed them in Rootrainers and have placed them on a warm windowsill. When they germinate I will put them in the greenhouse and plant out in April. I will plant the beans in early June close by to twine up through the sweet peas.
