Topic: You were all correct!

I have grown some asparagus peas for the first and last time this year.

Despite warnings from many of you at A4A in previous threads I allocated an 8x4 raised bed for this crop, much paised by Thompson and Morgan.

They taste nothing like peas, or asparagus, and more like a mouthful of hay, even when only an inch long.

When I return from France in a few days, I will have one last go and create a curry side dish as it is the only thing that I can think of to make them palatable.

They are also very small and quite a job to get enough to call a pulling.

For a change you might like to see our place in Nice on my wife's blog.

Oh well, you never know if you never try! Somebody on here likes them, but I can't remember who!
