so i've got some mange tout and kelvenden wonders(i think thats correct) in house at the moment, they lived inside during our recent house move.
the mange tout are just under a ft tall and flowering the peas slightly less and no flowers yet (though i have more in an earlier stage)
can i plant them out now? will they die in frost? can i plant out then cloche them or should i be keeping them inside for a while longer?
same with french and runner beans, not got any on the go yet so can i plant direct now or wait?
You should have planted them out a couple of weeks ago from the sound of it! Peas are basically hardy, but the modern wrinkle-seeded type tend to rot rather than germinating, and they need warm soil. That's their only point of non-hardiness; once they've germinated they're fine.
oh ace! thanks :) they'll go out this week then
all our peas have been out for a couple of weeks and our kelvedon wonder are just showing outside ;D
