    Yup! It's been a good year for peas. My mangetout were overwhelming. Pity it's such a short season for them.

    You can keep sowing them Manteur - till early July, thats what I do, sow a row every couple of weeks, then there are always a few to pick until the Autumn.

    Really? Still start sowing now. I assume you you can only mean outdoors. Won't they find it a bit dry?

    Yes outdoors Manteur, like all veg over the summer you may need to keep them watered to stop the bed drying out. Sowing now should get some by late Sept :gnthb:

    Which ones are you growing?

    I was given some this year and although they have grown they are only a couple of feet high and havent produced all that many pods :(

    I'll buy some proper climing ones and prepare the ground properly next year.

    Ive planted a load in tubs and put them along the back wall of the greenhouse. Ive netted the back wall and im putting a frame up as extra support too, must be around 10"s already.Some of my out door peas are upto 5 feet high and they are supposed to be dwarf plants of 2-3 feet only.
