Hi Folks
We have some Feltham first peas, four in a three inch pot (my son potted at a show), they are thriving & need potting on as they are all nearly 2inches tall.
What size container do they need to be potted on to & can i put them all in to one? i have the Morissons flower buckets size 9 & 10 inches roughly would theese be ok? sorry for firing so many questions at you all. Thanks for all your help.

    They'll fit in there easily.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Yes, peas do not mind a bit of crowding, remember to put a few twiggy sticks in as they will soon be searching for support

    Also try not to disturb the root too much, as they don't like it. Thats why alot use root trainers or being MSE toilet roll insides where the whole lot gets planted out.

    My kids loved the peas last year, especially my toddler. Not many got to the table though as they were eating htem straight off the plants like sweets :).

    Going to plant loads this year they were great.

    your kids sound like mine,our peas never make it indoors which is fine by me its good that they munch on healthy food instead of junk, you cant get much healthier than fresh peas :)
