I grew Russian Giant from Thompson Morgan but it just grew to quite an average size, what size did the wilko ones grow to ?

I went in for the challenge as per the link Kris gave.

My "Champion of England" peas grew higher!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

The wilko ones were left to care for themselves, the ones in garden at home had heads about 10inches diameter and grew to about 7ft the ones in a trough  of rubbish compost had heads about 8 inches and grew to the same height, the ones at allotment had  heads about 8 inches and about 8 ft tall, they were in a patch of unused ground which is clay. I neglected all of them. ???
