Week 35 - Bed EX8

We were going to clear out the broad bean and pea plants, but noticed that there are new shoots appearing at the base of many plants, so we cut off the old growth and left the younger parts of the plants to see what will happen.

The new growth at the base of the pea plants - the broad beans are similar.

There are several new shoots appearing at the base of this pea plant that we dug up. We were not able to locate any nitrogen fixing nodules on the pea roots - a common occurrence with the beans and peas in these plots.
