Our two rows of pea seeds were all lost the first time of planting to mice,

My first sowing of modern peas didn't do that well and had a few peas. I
then sowed (on a friend's advice) non plus ultra and alderman, both old
fashioned . They romped away, carried tons of peas and don't seem to
suffer from drought or lots of cool days like the modern types.

Will sow them again next year.

Ne Plus Ultra is my favourite pea and has done better than others most
years I've grown it.
