A packet of seeds for pea's is not exactly cheap
and you don't get many in the packet.
I noticed in a supermarket the other day, boxes
of dried peas, lots of peas and very cheap.

Now for the question if you haven't guessed already,
can these dried peas be used for growing or have they
been treated in some way to prevent this??.

They grow perfectly well. Usually a variety which doesn't need
peasticks, and pods ripen around the same time, so you're living on them
for a couple of weeks, and then - no peas with your dinner.

I bought 20 boxes of them a few weeks ago from Tesco when they had
them at 5p a box thought they would do as green manure, the ground is
still to wet to sow them though, I was going to rotovate, then
broadcast them over the surface and rlightly rotovate again.
