The agreement was that my brother and I would share my land and the

He's picked every pea and gone on holiday. I've tended the peas and

them and I am more than annoyed. Peas are my favourite veg.
I half want to change the padlock. I might still do it as he seems
incapable of not filling it all up and asking me what I want to grow.
I'm more than ticked off.

Is it too much to ask that he liases with me about what to grow? Given
that it's my ground and it cost a whole lot of money, but that's not the
point.
He thinks he's going to get it when I die. He isn't.

I don't know why you are surprised at this, I seem to remember you going
on about him doing the same thing last year, and given the chance he
will do it again next year.

If that's the case, lock him out and tell him why. He is not trustworthy,
brother or not.

Let's just say I want to but he's my brother and it makes it difficult.

But you must sort it out between you and talk to him. I quite
understand your frustration but as has been said this came up last year
and unless you resolve it now, will come up next year, without doubt.
None of us can help you. Only you can do that. Of course, everyone
here has sometimes sounded off about an occasional frustration but when
those repeat themselves and it seems that nothing is done to cure the
problem, it is then outside the group's power to assist you. It is
just possible that, knowing peas do tend to come again, he thought he
was saving you a picking problem with the best of intentions. I do
think that the best and only real advice you can take is "talk it over".
