peas coming well as its radish made holes for courgettes(zucchini's )are whatever they called lol )




going to put 2-3 hands full of cow manure in each hole to give then good start as i will for tomes and corn and peppers
onions looking good only think i worried about is the carrots and s onions (green onions USA people call them )
