    I have just planted my japanese onions and covered them with fleece for a little protection. Is anybody else still planting?

    I have bought my winter broad beans, Aquadulce Claudia which I am hoping to sow in the next week or so.We had a fantastic crop off of them this year,so we aren't going to sow any in the spring like we did this year

    I had to plant my Broad beans [Aqua Dulce] early, as I left them out by accident after collecting and they started to germinate! They are now about 6'' tall and I am contemplating pinching out the tops.
    I shall plant some in spring too, I love broad beans. My younger daughter thought she didn't like them but had them in a posh restaurant recently served with the skins off, which she liked. More for the compost heap,
    but I thought it a waste!
    I've also planted some rocket in the bottom of the greenhouse which has germinated- Amateur gardener mag suggested it.
    I was slow in moving the sweetpeas and a lot of the seeds had started germinating in their pods, so I've planted them too. I wasn't going to collect seed as I wasn't too impressed with the smell of this years' varieties.

    Winter lettuce sprouted in modules is ready to go out. Broadies went in last week. Garlic went in yesterday, and more next week. Waiting for fruit bushes! Plenty to go at still [​IMG]

    My over-wintering onions are looking healthy, they have been in about a month. The cabbages less so though!
