As the Red Choi bolts to seed I've planted out another lot. 
With so much rain this winter the Snowpeas on the cornstalks grew very top heavy...the high humidity made the stalks weaken...then the extreme winds we are having...well the whole lot collapsed. We had a lovely harvest from them while they lasted and now they have been added to the mound bed in the Old Chook Run Garden to feed some corn next summer!Getting ready to sow the Tomato seeds this weekend!!
