3 years of trying, and I have finally grown a Broad Bean!

Planting them out earlier and earlier trying to beat the blackfly was a mug's game apparently, the wise grower leaves it late so they don't start shooting until the blackfly predators are out.

Popped some gardening content on TikTok and not a sausage. Not sure how you get things moving there but here's a link.

Bed preparation for the new season in the #NoDig #VegPatch

I harvested the last parsnips, celeriac and carrots, raked the beds over and covered with a few cm of green waste compost from the council (certified for organic horticulture).

The new miditunnel was planted with garlic, lettuce, peashoots and pak choi.
Because the tunnel is made really cheaply, I wanted to call it cheap tunnel. My wife insisted that I should use the term "miditunnel" instead as it is in size between my tunnel greenhouse and last years minitunnels.

The original design of the tunnel wouldn't last a week in our climate. So I re-enforced the construction massively. Mostly I used stuff from last year's minitunnel.

Need to get a few things more ready as I have to get some minor surgery done this week. After that, there may be a #gardening pause for a few days or weeks. ☹️
