I have found a packet of peas that I forgot about. Hurst Greenschaft.
Is it too late to sow them now and get a late crop?

Thanks

Hi Baz

Some seed suppliers say this main crop variety can be sown in July
though I wouldn't sow after early June. Given that it takes up to 16
weeks to mature, you're looking at much less than ideal growing
conditions by mid November so you'd certainly need to give it some
protection as the autumn rains (on top of the summer rains) are going
to mean very wet soil which isn't ideal.

If the pack date's ok I'd keep them for next year.


Cheers

I am going to have a lot of seeds for next year. My entire crop matured
while were away, Serves me right for sowing all at once and I did the same
last year but froze most. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day
to do all of the tasks needed to keep house and garden and work.....etc.

One thing is certain - home grown veg. are leaps and bounds away from
anything in the shops, that's what keeps me going.

Cheers to you as well
