The pods are substantially different, I assume you know what edible pea pods look like, then you will have no problems. -- Please reply to group,emails to designated address are never read. |

We all have to start somewhere and one who has never made mistakes has done nothing. Alice |

To be honest I thought, bearing in mind the extreme differences between the two ,size, colour, texture etc. that somebody was winding us up! |

I have planted various edible peas and rather dimly also planted mixed in with them sweet peas. I belive sweet peas are slightly toxic. I've an idea it may be more than 'slightly' How can i identify which are which? I would like to eat the edible peas! Sweet pea pods start about an inch or two long, only about a quarter of an inch wide. They tend to be a slightly blue-ey green, and the pods aren't shiny - they are hairy. Remove any pods you find that are like this, it saves confusion later. Ordinary peas are obviously like the ones n the supermarket - shiny, not hairy. Sugar snap peas are similar. Mange-tout peas are picked before the peas inside swell but are also shiny bright green. Don't eat any pods which you are unsure of. And you could tie a bit of string around any plant which has big fragrant flowers. Also - with sweet peas, if you keep taking the dead heads off, you will continue to get new flowers. So if you keep doing that (check every day for dying flowers) you won't get any pods on the sweet peas. -- Kay |

Edible peas have white flowers only. So anything with a coloured flower is a sweet pea. The edible pea pod is also larger.
