Autumn beans

Lovely autumn day, warm in the sun.
Put in three rows (60 seeds) of Aquadulce Claudi broad beans today in the bed where the potatoes were. Dug the bed over again, the soil is good and easy to work. Hope they overwinter OK and beat the black fly. I will do another 3 rows in the spring of a different variety and compare.
Also weeded and cleaned up the brassica bed, removed the yellow leaves from the plants and weeded, gently, around. There are some Brussel sprout plants, don't know if they'll get decent sprouts on but we'll see.
Bit more general tidying and weeding/digging.
Must get some garlic in soon.
I want a shed.
