Pods already, how fantastic!

My overwintering ones have been flowering for a while, so I'll start looking out for pods.
Thank goodness for the rain we had last night.

I have pods too....have pricked out the tips too as have lots of flowers on them, mine are also Aquadulce sewn in November.

Those of my autumn sown aquadulce that survived (some didn't) have developing pods - maybe another week before eating some. The seeds I put in the gaps this spring are flowering like mad, and are much taller. I do find that a hard winter keeps aquadulce shorter than usual for a month or so, then they stretch up.
