Could you put in sticks/canes at either end of the row and run a bit of string along the outside of the row next time, it might stop the plants flopping over?Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-39183282480184412732017-06-03T10:13:25.511+01:002017-06-03T10:13:25.511+01:00Hi Dave, yes definitely need a few more hours in t...Hi Dave, yes definitely need a few more hours in the day.

I might give up on the parsnips for this year...if the originals germinate that'd be good, but I'm not going to sow any more. Broad beans have actually been really good, I'm harvesting the Autumn-sown ones now, and the spring sown ones are all in flower. Good luck with yours.Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-54353441472272899102017-06-03T10:05:19.054+01:002017-06-03T10:05:19.054+01:00Hi Lisa and Robb...I know, so many seedlings!

There are volunteers and trainees helping out at the veggie farm regularly so hopefully they'll all get planted out soon.Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-90899293063496104242017-06-03T10:02:45.311+01:002017-06-03T10:02:45.311+01:00Thanks Phuong.

We had heavy rain last night so everything will be a bit damp today (which is actually good as it had been very dry for quite a while). If the weather holds today I might try and get to the plot to do a slug-patrol as they'll have moved around in the rain.Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-1446359827540444132017-05-31T20:40:24.860+01:002017-05-31T20:40:24.860+01:00Your snow peas look so great!

They however never grew up the fence but just grabbed onto each other and eventually flopped over. I think I crowded them when planting.

We are starting to worry about the amount of stuff that needs planting out to as the weather hasn't become very helpful. I think I am going to have to sow some more parsnip seed as our parsnips seem very reluctant to germinate too as do the carrots and the broad beans.
