I am in favour of using dilute sea-weed feed as it has trace elements in it that ordinary feed doesn't have. I use Maxicrop and find it helps when you're re-planting stuff and boosts plants that don't look too healthy and it's not that expensive.

The early peas the farmer has sowed looks quite short and they are covered in flowers.

Thanks for the tip! Seaweed it is.
