Is it too late to start mangetout peas with any likelihood of success?
Are they likely just to fall prey to mildew?

Can I suggest trying Oregon Sugar Pod. I've just picked my last ones
from a sowing last September. The yield was very good and the pods
stay tender even when the peas are forming. I reckon these might grow
all year year round (obviously dormant in winter but survived last
winter's frosts better than my Aquadulce Claudia broad beans). I'll
definitely grow them again.

Interesting and thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't realised they are so
hardy. I shall definitely try them in September. I wonder if they're as
good at coping with hot dry weather as they are at coping with cold.
