Sugar peas
 

I have been growing veg for more years than I care to remember, but I
have never tried Sugar peas.
I bought 2 packs of seed from Lidl and was supprised to read in the
instructions
"Sugar peas are earthed up when they have grown to a height of 15cm
and from the on a climbing support is needed."
I've never heard of earthing up peas.
also on the pack they show the spacing as 40cm by 40cm
They must be quite something.

If you hear a voice booming "Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!" climb

I'd have thought that at the top of the Peastalk would be a
Bladderwrack,
