Sweet Peas Are Coming!

​  Batch 1 Sweet Peas are well underway now.
These were sown in January, & about 350 baby plants are happily being nurtured in one of our polytunnels. ⁠ Batch 2 are germinating now ready for potting in to root trainers like these soon.⁠   Cardboard toilet roll tubes could be used as an inexpensive alternative.⁠
  These root trainers seemed very expensive to buy but this is their 9th season of use. With care, they'll be reused for Sunflowers & other seedlings later this Spring. Hopefully, I'll reuse them for a 10th season next year.⁠
  So yes, the root trainers are made from recycled plastic but used carefully, definitely not single use only. And when they do fall apart, they can be recycled & the material used again.⁠
  It won't be long before we're cutting deliciously scented Sweet Peas by the bucketful for our Customers!
