As a matter of fact I have sown my early pea and broad beans a few
days ago. I have enough if they fail, and will sow more and more as
the year goes on. Up until June sowing.


Sounds interesting - can you expand a bit. Where are you - are they
outside or under cover etc etc


I am in North Lincs.
The seeds are outside and are covered with debris netting until they
germinate to stop cats scratching around. I remove the netting and hope for
the best after germination.
Peas are Hurst Greenshaft and the broad beans are Bunyards Exhibition.
Neither of these are noted for their overwintering qualities, but it works
for me. Apart from getting a crop a few weeks early I like to see some
things growing during winter.
