Fen Peas

Not a particularly good photograph, but it does show that we do run 24 hours! It was a busy weekend in the Friskney and Toynton area. We are moving at some pace because the Organic peas and Conventional peas south of Boston look like they will begin to push us. They were reading in the low 90s yesterday so we should be down there in 48 hours which is about right. I am pleased to see the cooler temperatures from a harvesting viewpoint, but a bit more sun for those in flower would be welcome. (Never satisfied!) Today will see us clear up the Premio, and then we shall go to some Gonzo at Wrangle which has grown incredibly tall and looks a very good crop. However you can never tell until you get into them. As far as yields go generally campared to the last two years they are OK. I think the pressure will still be on going forward, and we therefore need to maximise our machinery and the factory space. I could bang on about the G8 summit and what the so called experts are saying, but it does intrige me the the PM is advising us not to waste food. I don't think he is somehow qualified to comment on how not to be wasteful!
