Beans and peas

Whoops! The root of beans and peas were growing out of the pots. I should have sown them in deep pots. I hastened to plant out broad beans outside, peas inside with no time for hardening. As outisde bed was not quite ready and tonight might be frosty, I covered them with fleece and sprinkled slug pellets.

Marigolds have come out and have been moved into the cold frame.
I also sowed lettuce and shungiku, planning to plant outside for summer crop. Inside the marquee it will soon be too hot for salad. They look fresh in the morning but floppy in the afternoon. So I've had to wait until it gets cooler to crop them after watering.
