The effect of shade.

Last year I showed how our Corn was graded in height by the shade.

This year it's the last lot of Peas.

Now that's really funny?

We ARE in deep shade in parts, but - yes - we DO have a 440V cable (not a pylon) running exactly over that bit.

That's exactly the effect I used to get trying to grow veg next to one of my hedges. I gave up in the end and I'm now developing that strip as a flowerbed.
