Glorious April continues

Sunday saw a continuation of the glorious April weather with a day of almost unbroken sunshine and temperatures just nudging 20°C.
The only downside is that the plot is dry so today our new strawberry bed received a good watering and hopefully that should keep them happy for a few days.

Whilst the strawberries were getting their watering we sowed our first row of peas, Feltham First and Progress No 9. The shallow trenches that the peas were sown into were given a good soaking before the peas were sown and covered with compost. The row was then given some protection as newly sown beds seem to attract unwanted attention and finish up with paw prints in the compost or even holes excavated along the rows.
