Fen Peas

Another busy week with the drill in the Spalding and Bourne area. One field in particular was difficult with regard to finding moisture at a sensible depth, but we got there. We are now some 72% through the programme which is about where we would expect to be at this time. There is still three weeks to go to complete drilling, so if there is no rain between now and then it will become very interesting trying to get the crops established. The picture above is of the earlies and you can just make out flower buds. If the weather stayed as it has been we would soon see flowers on the early crops. This would be earlier than usual, but the temperatures are due to drop so things may well return to normal.
