Default Moth grub on peas

I was shelling peas this morning and have noticed a very large number, more
than any other year. About 50% have the moth.


Odd, I've only had one or two so far, but had way more previously. Although
I haven't had my main crop yet.

I won't be saving seed this year.


I'll probably be shouted at for this, but I've found saving the seed when it
has minor pea moth (or broad bean weevily thing) damage still grow fine the
next year. i am /assuming/ I am not saving up the eggs of the pest for the
next year, but prepared to be corrected.
