Today saw the last of the peas being drilled for the 2010 crop. The last fields were fairly dry and will have to work hard to establish. Peas drilled on monday have now got good chits on and could be up next week, if these high temperatures hold. A close eye must now be kept on all crops for moth and aphid infestation. Flowers will also being to show more readily, which will give a good indication as to where the pressure points will be at harvest.
