I was shelling peas this morning and have noticed a very large number,
more
than any other year. About 50% have the moth.
I won't be saving seed this year.
How can I prevent it next year?


I sowed Early Onward last autumn under a tunnel. Masses of peas, not
one maggot. 4 sowings made this year produced about 50% with maggots..
Lesson there?


Yes, a very good lesson. I have no maggots, just grubs....Joking apart.
Early Onward have always been 2 or 3 to a pod, 5 max. for me. Must be me,
or me soil.
