Thanks all. I'm not sure I'll bother again with peas, they are a lot of work - I sow in pots in the greenhouse, then plant out, protecting from the pigeons is a nightmare, and podding isn't the easiest. Ho hum.
I've tried a few varieties of mangtout, and don't actually like them much! I'll see how I feel about this year's crop, as you say the taste of home-grown peas is just so different. I just don't seem to get a huge crop, not like the runner and french beans - I grew so many of those 1n 2020 that I didn't bother last year, the freezer was still packed!
I apologise for being tetchy today - all the posts in this thread are actually top notch - probably just me... but.I feel better now.
