Hi Y'all,

Well with your help my lottie is finally producing loads of stuff. I have just harvested Onward peas, great success, and wonder, is it too late for a last sowing of peas...and can I sow where peas have already been. If the answer is no, what woulyou recommend to go in the nitrogen-rich soil my peas have hopefully left for me?

I know the answer is out there..it always is!!

Thanks everyone....I just love this A4U....Caro

Late sown peas are prone to mildew... mangetout types less so.. I managed a crop last year sown at this time...

We follow peas with the over-winter brassica... :)

I am going to plant Japanese onions on my pea and b/bean beds. I have had such a wonderful crop of onions this year. Their taste is so good. Shame they don't keep.
