Topic: Yellow mangetout - so excited!

[supersprout]

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 :(

I saw a link to a site where I could buy those seed so I did, role on next year!

Looks good SS, is there a variety name do you know?

[supersprout]

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

I'm growing MT but they don't want to climb up the sticks what did you do?

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??

Coo! :o
Do you think it's the later sowing again tim?
My purple ones are showing too ;D

Can anyone tell me the variety?
A difficult name Elizabeth something Blauschwoek? ???

The ones I saw were advertised by "real seeds" can't remember the full addy as I followed a link...  a search should turn them up.
