started on the sowing
Frantic Gardener on Feb 18th 2007
so feeling much better. The middle of the fruit bed was weeded and covered in cardboard which we have sowed broad beans through - aquadulce claudia. i say we, because SB and BB worked as a team to plant them. SB reiterated that BB was an excellent helper frequently, for us all to exclaim just what a really useful engine she was these days [rofl] we also did some ivy removal - but carefully, as didn’t want to disturb any early birds nests.
We looked at seed catalogues - BB most interested in the fruit, and very good at naming them! Sb a veg girl, but we need a few more companion flowers to jolly things up. Must raid Merry’s cardboard box heap, and find a cheap supplier for smeipermeable membrane for keeping down the weeds [any advice?] Actually, can I ping Ady - does he know whether this type is any good for planting through, or don’t they do any planting through? [no, i don’t think we need quite that much!]
