yay!!!
looking forward to photos!
my baby peas are still in their rootrainers, about 6-8" tall and ready to go out (as soon as the bed's dug ::))
peas fresh from the pod is just the best taste.
enjoy!!!

glad its not just me who have late growing peas, they are slightly shaded during the day but are growing happily and are fending off the slugs regularly!
have been putting the few that have grown straight in the freezer for hopefully a fresh taste!

well done Chris!

mine didn't seem to want to grow for ages and were stuck at 8" in the ground, but with the help of a little bit of rain (understatement!) and some chicken pellets they're really shooting upwards!  Have got some flowers on them now so should be seeing peas very soon!
