good flavour and a joy to pick.
Wouldn't mind swaping seeds of one of your tall varieties.

Would they come true David if all grown together?

I grew Ne Plus Ultra and I think Alderman. They cropped where modern
ones don't seem to do well for me. They were easy to pick and much
sturdier than the newer types.

Assumed that it was no good to save seed from the crops as they were
planted quite close together,

I was told by a pea grower at Lost Gardens in Heligan that peas are
essentially self pollinating and that it is only necessary to leave a
couple of feet between varieties,and this so that you do not pick the
seed from the wrong plant.Michael
