Support and protection

I fixed the back gate using nails though I think it would have been less traumatic for the gate if I'd used screws as someone suggested. (Thanks F; I should have paid attention to you.) Two of the nails went in sideways, which was just as well because they were too long. The third poked out of the other side of the panel. I think I am safer with an electric drill than with a hammer.

The mange tout peas that I sowed two weeks ago have sprouted. Yesterday, having noticed a few green shoots emerging, I erected wire netting by them for their support. I put a strip of netting each side of the rows in a v shape with the strips meeting at the top and overlapping at the ends.  This has the added advantage of preventing pigeons from eating them. Today most of the peas have sprouted and the shoots are bigger than yesterday. I got my netting up just in time.

Thought for today

You're welcome! I'd have probably done the same. Bear it in mind for next time!
