Fen Peas

After a night of some sharp rain, we chose not to harvest, we have started again this morning in bright sunshine for the final push. The viners are down Wrangle Common in a field of Teepee. We have 500 acres left, so by the end of the week all should be done, barring prehaps the organics. It has seemed a long season, but when you start and never stop it sometimes seems that it drags on. Everyone involved has yet again thrown themselves into it, given their all, and despite the bypassing of 7% of the crop, I think we will look back on it as a sucessful season. This morning I saw Henry, the sampler, for the first time for three weeks. His is a bit of a lonely job, but he has done it very well, with the information he provides being accurate. He is now spending the last week helping us in the field, so he now has people to talk to!
