ok, thanks karooba, mine get picked when I need peas!

[Roll Roll]

As I've been picking mine, I've found about 1 in may be 20 to 30 pods affected, so not to much waste. I have had a good crop this year. Infact a really good crop, and thats just from your normal Lincon Pea.

I found that about 2% of my harvest had been nibbled by these little blighters too this year.  first time I've ever seen them, but then in previous years I haven't grown as many peas as I did this year.

I too may not be bothering with peas next year as the yield is so low. I have got some Alderman to try but that will be their last chance to impress me. I wonder how Bird's Eye do it?  Will grow more mange tout as there is no waste.

Big fields of close spaced, self supporting, low growing F1 hybrids, harvested mechanically when they all mature together.

I'm going the other way to you & hope to be self-sufficient seed wise to only grow heritage varieties and to start increasing the numbers of the old types that I've got.

i found a few in my mange tout. i must have eaten loads of them before i realised
definately not growing them again!

Of all the peas Ive grown (no netting at all) I found one maggot - so im a happy bunny
But powdery mildew always gets me despite my optimism! Hopefully it'll leave me alone this year
