Can i plant them both up the bean poles or will they fight?I dont have much space!!

They will fight & the mangetout will lose!

Oh dear,,,,,,the runners will have to go in the flower border then!
I thought i had everything in control but now everythings growing i cant make room.
My neighbour keeps giving me plants and i try to give him mine back,i think i will put my surpluse on my front wall for peeps to take home.
thanks for advise.

Do i need to take the tops out of the mangetout?they are about 6inches high
Also the peas they are about 3 inches.
Iread on here i need to cut my leek tops off!!

Oh and i planted radishes 5 weeks ago,they have gone long and thin not short and fat (wish i had that problem!!)

Leave the mangetout & peas alone!

Ditto re the radish comment!
