Growing Peas

Melonade

rosie, it's pea and bean netting I think.

I got mine from Wilko's Rosie. There's loads, and it's very cheap


Update on my peas - The ones in the big tub and trough are flowering like mad, and are begining to form pods! The ones in the ground got a bit of a battering from a slug, but have managed to recover and begining to flower

Mine to. My Peas are smothered in flowers and are now 8ft. Same with the runners but no flowers yet, just buds. I'm hoping to pick courgettes in the next two weeks.

Could anyone tell me if there is something you have to do to mangetout to make them start forming flowers and pods? Mine have done really well so far but have reached the top of their canes and slowed down a bit, but no sign of flowers, buds or pods yet

thanks

Hi,
Just found this thread and Love it! I have a packet of kelvedon seeds and was going to wait until next year to do them, but all the tips and advice on here has persuaded me to sow them this weekend.
You guys rock!:T

You can sow peas right up until the end of June for picking in October:T

i have peas growing like mad (first year with peas)

silly question, but mine have now reached the top of the netting...... do i leave them be, or snip of the tops to encourage growth further down?

it all works! The boys are thrilled with their peas - we've begun harvesting them this week
Thank you everyone for all your advice!
