Grow Your Own / Re: Pea Moth
« Last post by Snow on Today at 20:07 »
Problem with later sowings is that mildew can badly affect a later crop of peas

I've not had problems with pea moth from sowing early  March, but I've not grown a big maincrop pea plant like alderman for a few years. I just sow various sugar snaps and mange tout now, which  maybe go to 4ft max so could well be a bit quicker

My lavenders look a bit like that, because I haven't pruned them as well as I could (I didn't prune them at all some years  ::) )

You've got a lot of old wood in the middle, as others have said. That is perfectly usual behaviour if the pruning hasn't been quite right. There's no point in pruning back now into the bare old wood, as the plant won't regrow from that old wood.

The others' suggestions are worth a try  :)

Finally a lovely day here, so got loads of hoeing done, went around with the strimmer and at last planted the charlotte potatoes  :)

Today wasn't as warm and sunny as yesterday, but dry until just now. A sudden shower made a rainbow over the back hedge  :D

Maybe cut out a bit of the dead stuff, that would help with fresh compost I think

Went to the allotment today to do some digging and while I wasn’t looking, my dog started helping himself to the asparagus tips >: :mad:. He also managed to ingest a fair bit of mud trying to eat the rest of the spear which he then threw up on the carpet when he got home :ohmy:
