The Edible Yard - first planting out!

The sun is shining and I've just direct sewn some peas and late broad beans in the world's smallest legume patch! Couldn't be arsed with rows, so I've planted up the two foot patch with what could be very kindly described as drift sewing, but more accurately as 'bloody random'! Dylan decided to help by playing with some cotton buds, then climbing in a pot and pretending to be a plant. Helpful.

Speaking of plants, my skills clearly do not extend beyond veg. After planting lots of daffodils I have.... *drum roll*... two. Only I could fail with the world's easiest plant. Doh!

Ah well, I'm building up my store of recycled containers for the first indoor sewings next week, and even recycled my old spend compost as mulch on the naked beds. Whoop! Have never grown broad beans before so fingers crossed!!!
