Are My Peas Flowering?

One of the other first plants I have grown are these petit poi peas. I think I may have put too many in the pot, as they are too close together and seem to be wrestling with each other a bit.

However, I'm super proud of them and I was just wondering if them little yellowish buds I'm seeing are budding flowers?

If so, I'm a bit mythed but also happy as I expected they would grow taller but I don't have the support for them so hopefully, they fruit and I can call it a success! =]

If there are any other hints you would like to pass on, I would be quite grateful.

 

Draping fleece over them now will help prevent pea moth too

 

That's awesome! I can actually see the flowers opening up a bit as the day has gone by

@JWK They are Petit Pois - Waverex is what the vendor said, I think they are a dwarf variety. The vendor said provide supports that are 3 inches tall but I think I should have put them at the front of the pot as the plants have grown towards the sun and away from the larger branches I used in the back.

@Verdun (I have a WW1 game based in Verdun) I can't afford fleece or anything :[ Just gonna have to boil the mothlings alongside the peas if it happens.

 

Cariqua, well, you get extra protein
Fleece is just a precaution....Mostly peas are free from pests anyway so enjoy.
Dont let them dry out. Even the dwarf varieties climb/twine. When the pods are ready pick regularly.....if you dont they will stop producing peas. So, the more you pick the more will be produced.
(My name is from a well loved uncle I never met who was killed in WW2. A huge reputation as a man, as a sportsman and I grew up hearing all sorts of fantastic stories about him. Apparently I look a little like him and carry his name witb great pride. Dont really know what the connection is with the town of Verdun or with the Battle of Verdun)

 

Well, that's a great heritage to be proud of!

I'll be sure to take heed of your advice ^^

 

Right, ok, I'll have to have a shop around then. I wanted to avoid that because they are quite expensive, that's why I used random branches in the first place :/

Will they grow more after flowering?
And will removing the supports and putting new ones in not risk damage the roots?

 

I use short canes and string....works well and cost nowt. Supporting peas is simply to enable us to easily pick the peas and there is not really a right or wrong method of doing this
