I saw a stip of tilled earth and while I really wasn't planning to and I'm not sure why I did, other than it seems my impulse switch is playing up, which leads me to planting too many darn seeds!!!
Dwarf French sown this year (and I really do prefer climbing ones) There might be a couple of half runner types in there. All direct sown and overall germination has been good. A few seeds have been taken by something and a few seedlings tweaked out of the ground, I suspect blackbirds as they have been trying pluck out some recently planted sweet corn too. Varying amounts sown, one variety, Maria Zeller, just the 3 seeds I had, others like Norberg, Red Swan and Trofero quite a few more.
