| Striped Sweet Peas |
These striped sweet peas are the most fragrant of all; they are highly intoxicating! Much more so than the pink or red ones that started blooming first.

| Royal Burgundy Bush Beans |
The cantaloupe and bush beans in the cold frame are doing well and growing like crazy.
But this bed of brassicas in the back garden are doing very poorly. I think the soil just isn't up to snuff yet and of course I let the henbit and chickweed over run them. This is also one of the beds that gets very little direct sun in Dec & Jan. A couple of plants in here look like they are trying to perk up and do something so I'll give them a little longer, otherwise it's off to the chickens with them!
I've been getting some vermicompost out of the worm box and feeding worms to the chickens, which of course they love. I've also been planting and transplanting seeds and seedlings all over the place, with many more to go.
