Giving peas a chance (sorry)

I had half a day off work yesterday of which I spent 2.5 hours on the plot.  Bliss.  It was forecast to be wet and unsettled in the afternoon but it was lovely.  After 2.25 hours there, there was a brief shower, but not enough to put me off.

In that time, I erected 3 small wigwams at the top right of the plot and planted peas against one and mange tout against the other.  In the case of the peas, there are 1 or 2 plants per cane but there are exactly 3 plants per cane.  The third wigwam will be for the French beans.

I also hand-weeded the garlic patch.  This was long overdue and I just hope that the garlic hasn't been knocked back to much.  I did give them a water and feed before leaving for a boost.

Not sure if there are signs of parsnip seedlings yet but there are a couple of stations showing 3-4 seedlings so I'll need to keep an eye out.  I sprinkled some more slug pellets over that patch to protect them in case they are coming through.  Not sure there are many so I might attempt another sowing soon.

Next to the potential parsnip patch, I planted out some calendula seedlings in a row.  Again, I sprinkled some pellets down (the rest of the seedlings have just gone out into our back garden).

Broad beans are coming soon but I really need to sow some salad crops and basil.

At home, there are lots of seedlings to transplant.  Chillies, tomatoes, various brassicas, sweetcorn and French beans (need to sow a few more of those last two though), celeriac.  Dearest husband has made me some wood-and-hope frames which I need to cover with mesh for some of these and I hope I can convince him to make some more.  I need two small ones for the blackcurrant and gooseberry plants that are fruiting.
