    Thought i'd lost the variety last year as the slugs ate all but one plant :doh:

    Turns out they were self fertile though :phew:

    They are as tall as me now and setting a good crop, might even try a few this year, only been growing them on to increase the seed stock so far.

                Ah but there are Peas and Peas "M" :) Some are nearly inedible, usually the high yielding ones sold for a fortune in the supermarkets.
