Don't know about BB's but the garlic will be along shortly!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Hi Fruitfull, apparently, according to our local Yoda, the  Pheasants quite like to 'Oik' 'em out, so I have put some netting over, until established. (Iv'e also got a tray full on the go, just in case  :wink:

Your broad beans should be fine. You will probably have to support them a bit when they get bigger. A few canes and string should do it.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Do not coddle the beans. You want them to stay small and hardened until the Spring. They will be growing roots.

Agree to put a wire over them. Not just pheasants, crows will also pull them out.
