Purple Podded Pea Eater

Purple podded peas, trellised, composted, mulched and rearing to go.

You can also see a one row of the six rows of white Italian garlic I have planted and needs mulching as soon as I get well enough.





I'll probably get shot for this, but every time I say purple podded peas to myself I keep thinking of the Purple People Eater, but in my head I sing Purple pea eater.

Go figure, have I got to much time on my hands or an empty head with lots of free space for strange thinking?

Leek

These are my climbing peas which I'm just starting to get a crop from. Very tasty and fun to grow.














I planted these guys ages ago (Feb I think) and I am now just starting to use them. They were easy to grow and I'll definitely be planting more.














I read that carrot and leek make good companion plants and it was suggested to plant a row of carrots between the leek. I gave it a go and it is working really well.
