If you give me chance!

Try this:

That gets many more into the plot than I currently have planned.  I will have a go at that.

Puts you off a bit doesnt it!!! 

Ive grown some early peas but concentrating more on mangetout in the hope i eat them before the maggots appear!!!

I do that, I got down the plot this afternoon and couldn't find my "Gladstone"!

Have you looked in the bag?

Must get out more! (and provide something for the little peas to grow up!)

[DD.]

Boom boom!

Found them buried in the Cadbury's Roses tin.

Just wandering what I'd get if I sowed the loose seeds kicking around the bottom of it.

Just what you don't need - peas that take you by surprise 

[DD.]

Whilst it's an assortment of seed. I know none of them are peas - I'm very careful with those!

Pesky mice must have had most of mine, planted about 80, 6 have come up   will have to resow, but probably won't get 2 crops in now

That's safer then  - you could grow a bed of vegetable soup ingredients 

[DD.]

Don't give me ideas!

why wont you get two crops in, there is plenty of time to re-sow your peas!

What I meant was that i was hoping to sow mangetoute early, get a crop early June, then a later sowing & planting, if the weather holds out a late 2nd crop in September, but not enough time now, ah well, you can have too much of a good thing I suppose.... 

[DD.]

Tried it, failed many times.

The time period is sound, the weather conditions are not. The later sowings succumb to mildew.

I got one decent crop one year. 5 wrong 1 right is enough for me not to bother with late sowings again.

But don't let me stop you, conditions may be right this year, but it's a lottery.

OOOH, hope you've not unleashed the pea monster    

They are far far better when home grown, flavour, texture, variety (etc) and you can be feasting on them all through the year not just when it's the comercial picking season!

And they are very easy to grow.

Can you hear him? he's comming! you shouldn't blasphem (spelling) about peas on this site!

Haha! Love this post!
