Fen Peas

A slight distraction from the pea harvest. Having nursed her eggs for the last five weeks, Jemima finally presented her young to the world last night. Four boys and two girls. Mother and babies are doing well. She will now have to teach them to swim! The harvest continues in the Sleaford area, which we shall clear up on friday. It's a bit early to call on yields yet, but, I'm not getting too excited. When you open up the pods, not all the peas have formed. From Sleaford we will move up to Lincoln Heath, which are now reading and moving steadily. The last two cooler days have slowed things down.
