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!(:-)
