I've just eaten a "sample" pod from the Jeyes pea, very yummy a lovely pea sweetness , the plant is almost six foot with white flowers , if I wasn't growing these for the circle I would have probably eaten them all there and then , brilliant raw!

That's great to know! So glad I have this pea in my collection thanks to you. :) My seeds all germinated and the plants are only a foot tall so far but they're growing. I can tell they'll be tall.
Ha! My Kent Blues had a sudden spurt and there should be enough for the number of people currently in the circle. Turns out I don't really like mangetout, so I'll be sticking all the seed in. They really are very, very pretty. I have 5 hand pollinated thelma sanders squash growing away nicely so I will sub in the seeds from there. Have checked the previous seeds thread and I can't see them on there so I hope that's ok. The alberto chillies have 3 small chillies on one plant and not even a flower bud appearing on any of the other 3. I've obviously done something wrong, but I don't know what!
Galina, I love sugar snaps, and pretty much any other kind of pea. Mangetout just don't have enough pea for me. ;)Very much looking forward to this!Thanks for letting me know about the albertos too. They are in an open culticave, so will be a bit cooler than yours. But I have a new polycarb greenhouse to put up this autumn so they will be warmer next year, if they make it with my dubious levels of care!
Harvested and processed Gilifeather a while back, lots and lots of seeds!!!!Disaster with Early Blood turnips, not sure there are enough to salvage.Beit (sp) cucumber are picked and are very slowly turning a nice yellow, I won't know if they have enough seed inside until I cut them open. Rocoto Manzano Orange, looks very likely to make the short list as they have done so well.I'm hoping for a couple more Cisineros fruit to ripen, these tomatillos really are big!
