Broad Beans

Started the broad beans off today. I've started them off indoors rather than sowing them directly outdoors, and just three for now. I only want to put two out and should two fail, I've got plenty of time to try again. The main reason for starting them off indoors is that I've not got round to preparing the area they are going in, which needs breaking up and weeding, as well as removing a lavender that is already there. The bottom tray of the can-of-worms is now ready to empty too, so I'll be able to dig in some nice vermi-compost, which will hopefully help enrich the soil. That will take care of the top left corner, and will leave me the rest of the spring/summer to put a vegetable patch in the top right corner. With luck, of the weather holds I can get the garden work done on Wednesday, and start off the hanging basket tomato seeds.
