Broad Beans in Late Spring

These Broad Beans were sown in Mid Spring in the greenhouse and planted out in a mini poly tunnel (design based upon one of Geoff Hamiltons ideas).
Sluggs were, and still are, a major problem then so I put a ring of coarse gravel around each plant. This really helped.

Strawberries, this year, were brought into the greenhouse in Mid Spring, to encourage an early crop. These were plants I dug up from last years planting as I needed the space for the four raised beds, shown here with mini poly tunnels to warm up the soil.
