Autumn planted legumes

Last year we planted mange tout and broad beans in the autumn. Both grew better than when we planted in the spring (the broad beans were still not great, but the mange tout did really well)

So last week Doug planted, sugar snaps, peas, mange tout and broad beans. They probably should have gone in a bit earlier, but the weather looks warm for a while (unfortunately when it comes to skiing!), so hopefully they will do ok.

We still have some carrots, beetroot, kale, sprouts and cabbage, but the potager is generally a bit of a mess. Needs work soon to put it to bed for winter.
