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

As long as you don't eat the sweet peas you'll be fine. Half the fun of
having fresh garden peas is shelling them and seeing if any survive long
enough to make it to the pan :-)

None I have ever grown have made it to the kitchen!(:-)
