Growing yellow and blue mangetout for the first time this year - the yellows had grown pods overnight. So excited I couldn't keep the camera still! ;D

wow I am impressed. I am struggling to grow anything this year, went down to the allotment this morning to find all my runner beans have been eaten, and all the dwarf beans too :(

Golden Sweet, sown 20 April, so two months to cropping - I think that's fast! :D

Harvest time - that interested me. Found a quote - "Days to Harvest. Approximately 60 days for shelling peas, 'Sugar Snap' peas 62 days and snowpeas/mange tout 68 days."
Also note that MT are, in many cases, immature Sugar Snaps??
