In the autumn I put some pea Douce Provence into the greenhouse to eat as shoots.  I never got around to eating them and they are about twelve inches tall and growing well.  I am unsure what to do with them because early.  Are they hardy enough to go out in March.  I could plant them into the black flower buckets and keep in the greenhouse.  Do they need to be pollinated.

That's probably the best thing to do with them  They self pollinate.

Douce Provence are very hardy. I sowed some outdoors in autumn a couple of years back. Our daytime temps are pretty warm by UK standards but our night temperatures are quite low every night - our minimum that year was minus 11 ºC - and they survived. They don't grow very tall - 40 cm or so, if I remember rightly - but they were surprisingly productive and a very welcome harvest at that time of year. No idea why I haven't grown them since! Thanks for reminding me about them. Will sow them again this autumn.
