Once the rain stopped, there was constructed a new raised bed with sycamore pole framework (3rd dimension) in the ground of the 'fruit cage', for proper sweet pea growing. Five different varieties, including Mixed Bijou! Edged with pot marigolds, waiting for dwarf French beans. That gets lovely organic manure & new top soil into the ground, and uses up space where last year's raspberries didn't survive the snow. (Intercropping & multi-yield)Sweet Pea Cupani and a new frame for the climbing squash in the recycling box, in with the dark-leaved nasturtium Empress of India. Also Jessy snap peas in the other raspberry bed, as they should grow & crop well before the summer fruits reach the top of the little wired structure. Ground Elder looking lush - had some Thai-green-curried with spinach on Friday and I'll put some in a tart for Permaculture lunch on Wednesday! PS Happy International Permaculture Day (phew, just caught it, UK BST!)
