Spring time

I knew I wasn’t imagining it – NIWA have issued its national climate outlook predicting that spring will arrive early this year for NZ. I think it’s time to start trying growing my peas soon. Good old Prof Walker reckons he starts his first crop in early August RNZIH – Horticulture Pages – Growing Peas. Lots of other good advice can be found on bestgardening.com Vegetables – Peas and Mangetout. I dropped around to my mother-in-laws this morning and her peas are already over 10cm tall so it’s inspired me to get going!
