Part two allotment

I have planted some peas today.  I am using old flat bottomed guttering filled half way with compost .  the peas are prepared by first soaking for a day in water to swell them,and then in paraffin to deter the mice from digging them out and eating them. they are the planted zig-zag fashion in the guttering troughs. when they reach a reasonable height ,and weather permitting ,they are then placed in their beds by sliding them out of the guttering into the prepared troughs.
