Fen Peas

Typical Bank Holiday, cold, damp and bleak. A bit like The Labour Party's election campaign! A field of Novella in the Marsh, showing slight Weevil damage, but last week's warm spell has encouraged the crop to grow out of it. Generally the field looks well. There was a slight concern that when this field was being drilled there was a problem with the drill. This has now become evident, and we have a couple of Skylark patches. The local wildlife has benefitted from the problem. Last week saw us complete the drilling in the Bourne and West Pinchbeck areas. We now sit and wait until wednesday before we fire up the Quattro again, and continue drilling in the Bicker, Donington and Wigtoft areas. This should give us some breathing space at harvest time.
