I've got my tomatoes all put into growbags in my greenhouse, however, I
can't help thinking I'm wasting opportunity to grow a climber up the
aluminium frame. If I run string the length of the frame can I grow peas up
it from the growbags or would this be too much along with three tomatoes to
a bag? I was only thinking of maybe two pea plants in each bag, I just love
them fresh! Would it be more practical to put them in pots at the base of
the frame work, if so, what size pot?

Thanks ever so much for any help you can give me!

Charlie.

There's several folk in here that have peas in their compost heap - so
you go ahead and have peas in your growbag.

Do you think they would take over the tomato plants though and steal all the
nutrients?

Interesting point. As I recall, peas do not have as extensive a root
system as tomatoes but, .....regular feeds of Tomorite, or whatever,
might change all that.
You could end up with a tale of 'Charlie and the pea stalk'.
'Think you might have to experiment.

I've decided to put a few in the soil of the greenhouse behind the grow bags
and a few in the grow bags. If they get too mischievous I'll take them
out...
