my hopefully soon to be peas :-)

A couple of questions for you helpful people..

1. My peas have started to produce flowers..how soon can I expect pods?
2. Do I need to hand polinate them to get pods in the first place if I cant get the bumbly bees to leave my gaudy showy annuals and visit my floppy muted pea flowers?

Many thanks

 

Just leave them alone and the pods will soon appear.

 

yay! thanks azadaman
that means I wont be spending �£5 a time at M&S when I want some :eek:

 

Good points peapod, I hadn't thought about anything other than eating the end product.. (Veg-Hubby's department, pretty plants and flowers-Mine!)

 

I got pods!! Sorry to be overexcited but its the first time Ive grown them (or any veg) and they are my very fave food..Im delighted!!

 

i think your avator gave you away

 

hehehe I think so too

 

Haven't got pods on mine yet!! Although I haven't checked closely. Will do tonight.
