last year - Purple Pea. Apart from the latter the others grew well from seeds sown early March, must be the soil and being sheltered but pea's and beans do really well in my garden. We had a couple of very chilly nights too after they were planted out by Verdun

Talkback: Making plant pots from old newspaper
