I planted peas, which were successful although next year I plan to plant a lot more of them, as I only planted about 7 plants. I also planted onion seeds which came to nothing, carrots which are still growing, but I made the mistake of being slightly too greedy and not spacing them out enough or thinning them, so they’re a mixed bag which some slightly undersized carrots and...
