Never leave your peas
We went away for a few days.
Before we left the peas were just 'nice'. We got home today and they are 'cannonballs' and the plants are yellowing. Plenty of seeds for next year? They are "Hurst Greenshaft" about 10 (I just podded 4 and got 39)peas per pod. I know they aren't an early, but what can I do with them now they are matured? Baz |

Pease pudding? When they're really ripe enough to save for seed, you can also use them for the fashionable and delicious pea shoots. Seed tray, inch of compost, seeds about a quarter of an inch apart, press down, put in carrier bag, park somewhere convenient and light. Takes about three weeks; there should be a second cut, too. Good fun for children. -- Mike. |
