Ah but does it make a difference if you have wrinkled or round peas?

[saddad]

The round ones are hardier...
;D

But wrinklies taste better.   :o

Put some Twinkle in the ground ages ago (why is it that the one date you look back for is never in the diary?  ::)) and they grown up the netting a wee bit, looking a bit scraggy at ground level though, and put my Meteor in the ground yesterday.  Both going up the same netting and covered by a fleece cage to protect them from the worst of the wind and rain.  Roots on the Meteor were trying to escape from the milk bottle pots and as I understand it they don't like discomfort, so I'm just waiting to see what happens with them.

The master plan is to sow another half row of both the other side of the netting, straight into the ground to be covered by pop bottle cloches to ward of the evil scurrying fiends.  Will do that at the weekend if the weather holds !

First year of growing peas so living in hope (as per usual).

;D
