There are what I would call cost constraints for me at the moment. I'm sure that the viromesh pays for itself but this year I will have to hope and keep a close eye on. Deffinately something I plan to get hold of next year, if possible.

Nylon net curtains might be an interim solution if you can acquire some from somewhere? As long as the peas are not already in flower before you cover them you should get some protection.

hmmm, we've got net curtains in the lounge.

Jake - You need to make a decision here - what will derive the most benefit from protection with your nets - lounge or peas?
Go on...be daring... let the sunshine in!

She'd kill me :shock:

I mean, I'm not the down trodden male type btw, just so you know, I like my dinner on time and am most deffinately the boss.....Oh hold on a minute.....she's coming up the stairs...got to go.

I've got pods, about 5 of them and lots of flowers still to produce.

I'm a bit miffed though, just can't win with me. I'm off on holiday for 2 weeks on Monday which means Ruppert will get the first harvest of MY peas. He's very happy about it.

I bet I spend a few sleepless nights wondering about my plants on the plot, are they being watered enough? how big are they getting? are they being talked to nicely?

Still, we're going camping round cumbria, really excited.
