    I am growing mangetout and sugarsnaps in containers . How long should they crop for ? Mine seem to have cropped , very nicely mind you , for about 2 weeks. They now seem to have stopped , I thought they cropped for around 1 month ?

    TIA

    They should keep going for much longer than 2 weeks provided you are picking them regularly. They might need a good soaking to perk them up again.

      Thanks John I gave them a good soak last night . So I'll see if they pick up a bit. I was picking regularly and kept them well watered.
