Allotments 4 All

Is it at all possible to harvest peas, and get them to the kitchen for cooking, or do they always seem to just sort of disappear once shelled? I know mine always did in the past.

very difficult, like strawberries, they just seem to disappear  ;D

Mine always do the disappearing act too.  :)

i'm growing them specifically to munch on while i tend to everything else !  they're mine ALL MINE !

my grandson fights me for them  ;D

In the past i have always thought i had oversown in order to cover those that mysteriously disappear, to no avail obviously.
What is it with raw peas?
;) ;)

we,ve never yet managed to actually cook any but were planning extra this year so we shall see if we have the will power!  ::)

I'm the only one who likes them raw - thank god!

When decididng whatto plant this year at the allotment OH suggested not bothering with peas as the yield had been so low :( I fonly he knew ;D I have persuaded him to give them another chance - I'll just have to graze on something else :'(

My dad grew only peas and runner beans and they were in a locked part of the garden. When I was sent there to pick the peas on Sundays I had to whistle while picking them and carry on whistling while shelling them, without any breaks in the whistling  :o

I had a very crule and deprived childhood :'(

bet you've made up for it since?  ;D

I prefer peas without cooking them, we used to nick loads from my grandads garden when he wasnt looking. lol

Number one son won't eat peas until he has been on the allotment, picked a bowl full himself, and shucked them himself.  Then he eats them!

Peas, strawberrys and raspberries.  Impossible to get them all home. ;D
