Oh wow! I didn’t know you could do this! It’s certainly true that if you overwinter broad beans they are almost immune to blackfly infestation so you can eat the broad bean tops as well as the beans themselves while spring sown ones tend to get their tops destroyed by the blackfly.

Our caulis have always been prone to wrigglies, so perhaps overwintering is the answer … I might give this a go at the weekend too.

So it’s not too late! Excellent! Now if I could just get my olives and quince harvested to make time for planting seedlings…

I adore the Victorian Kitchen Garden – from the moment the theme tune starts to the end. No fancy film effects, no funny angles, just honest hard work and horticulture all the way through.

I often wonder what happened to the lass who was learning the ropes from Harry – does anybody know?

Liking your DVD collection, mtp! I think there’s a distinct lack of gardening on telly, particularly now that people are seeing the merits of growing their own. The BBC or C4 should re-run things like this. We’re inundated with home and food programmes, but apart from Gardener’s World and a smidgen from Nigel and Jamie, there’s not much to keep the gardening community inspired. Perhaps this could be the next venture for mtp?

I’ll be interested to see the caulis progress – I sowed Cauliflower ‘Snowball’ and the seedlings are already potted up in the coldframe – hoping for a greater success with autumn sown….
