POP IN MORE PEAS PLEASE?

One of my earliest memories is sitting on a doorstep in the 日光 爆撃する peas, popping as many into my mouth as I put into the bowl.?

If you want to enjoy the taste of your own fresh peas this summer, now is the time to （種を）蒔く them.?

Place the seeds into modules or into a length of guttering filled with peat-解放する／自由な compost leaving around 7.5cm between them, which 許すs you to slide the whole lot into a 用意が出来ている ざん壕 in one go. 工場／植物 them out when they reach 20cm tall.?

Alternatively, you can （種を）蒔く them 直接／まっすぐに, although they won’t germinate until the 国／地域 reaches 10c.?

There are many different varieties of peas in all 形態／調整s and sizes, but most need some support, so it is a good idea to get this in the ground at the same time.?

少しのd the ground where you are going to grow them and 会社にする／組み込む some 井戸／弁護士席-rotted 有機の 事柄 into the 国／地域, ideally a few days or weeks before 工場／植物ing.?

Then either use individual pea sticks made from hazel or make a でっちあげる，人を罪に陥れる from bamboo 茎s and hang netting over it for your 工場／植物s to climb up.?

Kelvedon Wonder is a good 早期に variety that grows to about 60cm high. Hurst Green 軸 climb to around 1m.

PLANT OF THE WEEK

White Comfrey?

I don’t have to try hard to grow white comfrey (Symphytum orientale) in my garden as it is 井戸／弁護士席 設立するd as a wildflower, even though it was introduced to Britain from the eastern Mediterranean.?

READER'S QUESTION?

How should I repot my orchids??

Jill Leadbetter, Pershore?

Orchids need to be repotted 定期的に. The best time to do this is in the spring, just after flowering. Ideally, use a （疑いを）晴らす plastic マリファナ so you can see the roots. The マリファナ should have plenty of 穴を開けるs for aeration. Bark is the best growing medium, as compost 保持するs too much moisture, and these 工場／植物s need to 乾燥した，日照りの out between watering. Make sure your new マリファナ 許すs for a couple of centimetres of growing room ― but not too much, as this can lead to water retention. Growing Orchids at Home by Manos Kanellos and Peter White (Kew Publishing, £10) is an excellent guid e for beginners.?
