Here I am standing in the vegetable garden. I have lost tons of labels and
I have enormous brassica plants on one hand but my present problem is the
peas.
I know I planted both the mangetout type and the ordinary I think called
"early onward". Now there are peas everywhere including sweet peas I
grew on the cage. Is there any way of telling which are mange tout and
which are real peas. I can't imagine it would be poisonous were we to eat
the pods of ordinary peas(?) but I don;t want to deprive the family of the
other sort either. What a mess...I haven't done the vegetable garden
before as my responsibility, and the vegetables I choose to grow my
husband has never grown to give his advice!! He always grew conventional
veg, I've got lots of stir fry etc
I'd be very grateful of anyone can tell me which is which. Thanks W

I know it's a bit late now for this year, but for future reference, you have
the ideal tool to avoid this happening again. It's called a computer. I have
made an excel document, and as a page of it has approximately the same
proportions as my allotment, I use the rows and cells to record what I plant
and sow where, print it out, take it to the allotment, write in what I
add/remove, and update it when I get home. Easy.
