Peas: 2026
February 24th, 2026Diary of Peas: Soaking, Potting and Planting out


- Feb 24th: Soaking maybe some 100 of two types of peas
- Feb 25th: Drained for the night.
- Feb 26th: Sowed the lighter ones, some 48
- Feb 27th: Sowed the darker ones, some 58. Sowed both batches in the small bed at the bottom of the fenced beans area to the east. For two tears in a row kale I have planted there has rotted, along with kale in the bed to the north of it. So may dig a trench outside the fence to allow water to drain quicker. �
