November is the time to sow early crops of Peas and Broad Beans - these should be ready for picking in May and June. Make sure you choose varieties which are for winter sowing and plant in a sheltered spot which has been manured - avoid waterlogged areas. Peas are sown in double rows, 10-20cms apart and at approx. 5cm intervals and 5cm deep. Broad Beans are planted at the same depth but at 20-25cms intervals and in staggered rows, 60-90cms apart.For a comprehensive range of great Gardening Gifts visit Down the Garden
