It was Bill that lead me to find misleading information on the Garden Organic website and they sent me a few by way of a thank you. I could hardly keep them could I? (Well, actually I've kept one and I'll see how I can multiply that up!).

Bill - they went in the post last night, so hopefully be with you tomorrow.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Sorry to hear about the hospital stay, Bill, pleased you're out and hope everything's OK.

The one I kept is now about an inch high, so fingers crossed!

Just in case you've not seen the entries in the diary section, just to update you, my single Kent Blue is about to flower, (photo in a day or two, I hope), and I think it currently has a potential for 24 flowers.

That's quite a return for one pea - but it is in its own space and has not been competing with others  in a row.

The Kent Blue Triffid.

I vastly underestimated its height in an email to Bill. It stands at 3' 7".

Current bud count is 36! Fingers crossed they all make it.

DD, have you got cling film around them, and is this to stop cross pollination?

Cling film?

They're growing in a spare bit of ground outside the greenhouse, up a spare bit of chicken wire!
