Week 40 - Bed DD7

The two nights of frost that we had last week do not appear to have affected this bed ...

... but when we took a closer look, many of the pods have been affected.

While the leaves of the peas plants are generally unaffected by frost the fleshy pods are easily damaged, shown here as mottled darker patches.

The white clover is starting to sprout, and hopefully they were not affected by the frost. Mature clover plants can survive frost over a mild winter, but the young seedlings are more tender.
