If I have ordered some seed or fert etc from a company and it hasn't turned up when its getting towards the time I need it I ring said company and ask, not post a random thread on here hoping someone might see it.

Ploughed our little bit for (seed) peas yesterday. All being well will drill Thursday (though fathers decided to start messing about with the drill :banghead: )

Pre basic seed (Daytona) turned up over 3 weeks ago.

Good frost this morning but land ploughed nicely and as @Brisel said , the temperatures look like increasing, especially at night which is important.

Hopefully I can restrict the recreational cultivations.......!

Lovely seedbeds ?
Thankyou.
Plough with lemken press and crosskill crumbler, once with markstig spring tine which has extra elements, and drill. 1 acre patch where the beet harvester had sunk a bit.....needed once more with Dutch (blench) harrow.

Drilled into nice moisture and sealed with the rolls quickly. Some of our kindest land and caught the drys well.
