A total 'winter clean-out' has been occurring over the last few weeks, with beds being cleared of old plants and fresh worm compost and soil added with winter veges then going in.
I have experimented with a cloche of hazelnut branches (sourced from my yet to fruit hazelnuts - at least this is getting some use out of them) for my winter planted peas - i'm hoping they will not only provide a frame for the peas, but also protect from those nasty frosts that we get in the valley.
