Fen Peas

The first peas are begining to emerge on the light land. It would be helpful if the temperatures were able to rise to allow them to grow away from the pigeons, but looking at the forecast it looks like the wind is turning to the north and we are in for a wet and cold few days. This week has been frustrating with the rain showers making it difficult to plan drilling. It has just been the case of going where we can. The last two springs have been pretty good, if a bit dry, so it may be we are going to get a slightly more testing one this year. With price levels being where they are we have to make sure that the peas go in in good conditions, and make every one count.
