I grew a staggered double row 15' long on my allotment last year and I couldn't pick them fast enough. Eat them young and there is not a trace of stringiness about them. Though the tastiest bit of the plant in my opinion was the tops I pinched off them. No wonder the pigeons like them so much. Tom |

Almost all modern bean varieties are stringless, unless left too long before picking. No snap/mangetout pea that I have tried has been entirely so (and that includes Oregon Sugar Pod), unless picked so young that they haven't developed much flavour. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I think the problem I really have is that the crop goes from too small to too big very fast. Mangetout peas move extremely fast on my plot: Pour treacle round the plants - that'll slow them down a bit. Or use them for snap-shooting? -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
