Cross polination
« on: February 26, 2010, 08:10 »
Please could someone tell me if peas cross polinate?. I have sown three different lots and would like to save some seeds.
There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

Peas are self pollinating and it's very unlikely that they will cross. 

I save my own seed of several heritage varieties.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
