Hello,
This is my first post on the forum - I've had an allotment for about 18 months, and I finally have to admit that lots of digging and crossed fingers isn't enough - everything keeps dying!
I'm now on my third attempt at Broad Beans - the second sown directly into the ground in the spring were better, but still a bit pathetic.
I've germinated at home, potted on into peat pots and hardened off in a cold frame (they're still all alive!!) and now I've planted them out with a little compost mulch. I've also made them a fleece tent while they settle in.
Should I keep this fleece on longer term - or just for a few days?
Help!!
PS I've also started peas in the same way - do they need more protection than beans?
