I have done a search for this because I was sure I had seen it somewhere but cannot find the information I need.
What varieties of peas can be overwintered. I have also Googled it and seen them described as round peas - what sort are round and what sort are wrinkled?
Did you mean store over winter or plant over winter ??? if the latter then this may help. ;)

G'Day Redclanger (sorry been watching too much cricket!)
I have some peas that sre suitable for sowing in Sept and overwintering with a cloch etc
They are Feltham First
Does that help any?

And I have some Douce Provence which I think the packet says can be sown in October!
Yes , I am doing Feltham firsts this year. Never tried them before so I have no idea what they aRE LIKE????
Thanks Roy - that was the thread I was looking for. Feltham First it is then. And now I need two packets of seeds for winter I can justify the postage of buying online.
Redclanger have sent you a PM

If there is a dobies near you they have them for half price. Other places will likely be the same.
I've grown Feltham First a few times over winter, and would say that I get the best results when I cover them with fleece from about mid November onwards, the fleece being raised about a foot from the soil level. I am on heavy clay.
