I'd also like the idea of covering and not using pesticides. <br />Thanks for your help :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101131592687615584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-31147426654746163812015-05-24T18:48:50.926+01:002015-05-24T18:48:50.926+01:00Hi again, Nat; The netting over the Sprouts is mad...Hi again, Nat; The netting over the Sprouts is made from Build-a-Ball and aluminium rods (from Gardening Naturally), and the frame over the Strawberries (soon to be covered in netting too) is made from pieces of old plastic greenhouses.

Generally though, I buy them via the internet, where you can get them a lot cheaper and more reliably than in Garden Centres, which often have limited stocks.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-51595438870450560982015-05-24T07:48:20.072+01:002015-05-24T07:48:20.072+01:00Hi

My broad beans are nowhere near as far along as yours - you made a comment before about how they often grow at different rates - I see what you mean now.

I'd love to be able to squeeze in some parsnips but I just haven't the space. Your garden is looking good, I'm envious of your neat netting cages, mine really is higgledy piggledy but it does the job.

I never check before the turnips germinate as the parsnips always take longer. I'm hoping they do better this year. Last year was my first year for parsnips and they grew but not all that well. Hopefully I've corrected my mistakes this year.
