    Evening all.

    For reasons unknown, our local greengrocer had pea pods in today, so I bought some.

    In a couple of them, the peas have germinated. Is it worth trying to grow these on, or would it be a waste of valuable growing space?

    Peas are seeds, it`s worth a try in pots see if they grow on.

    Probably worth a try C1. Only thing is, you'll need quite a few to get a worthwhile crop, imo:)

    Agreed. Based on past experience, I think it starts being worthwhile with about 20 plants. I have plenty of pea seeds, but I sort of think the commercial ones might produce high yield, so I thought it might be worth a try, but I've set myself a very challenging objective in terms of the number of plants I want to grow by spring, so space is at a premium.
