good to have something doing ok, isn't it, ck..this is half of them, they have two rows of peas between,
david R, ours were pencil lead thickness when we planted them, I always think they do better in the ground than in a pot  ;D

Mine popped off this mortal coil whilst I have been housebound.  Number one son has sown me some more so I will look forward to a crop of spring onion sized leeks.  :-\
