Earlier in the year I left some Broad Beans and Sweet Peas to soak, this isn't really necessary, but I like to do it anyway.
I also set out my potatoes to 'chit', that is, to sit in the kitchen, in open egg boxes to grow their initial shoots. This speeds them up so they take less time in the ground; a very useful technique if you have heavy, wet, cold clay soils like I do.
This year I'm growing 'Winston', a variety I've not grown before. They are 'First Earlies', meaning that they go in the ground early in the season (preferably March or April) and grow quickly. They should be ready for harvesting by July.
