Title: kent blues ... :(
Post by: Ema on May 14, 2020, 18:01
For the last 5 years or so I've grown Kent blue peas which I believe someone on here gave me or they were part of a seed circle. I have loved these peas not sweet like most of the new ones, great in a stir fry and just beautiful flowers to look at.

I don't know what I did wrong with seed saving this year but not a single one has come up. I thought maybe the rats/voles had them but the soil is undisturbed and the row of peas next to them sown on the same day has emerged perfectly. Any thoughts on how I saved these wrongly?

If anyone is still growing them would they be able to save me a couple for next year?

Well looks like I miss labelled the seed tray and mixed them up with sugar snaps. :)

They are just the most beautiful peas!!

It was me, Ema and I've had a cracking early crop out of the greenhouse, before the tomatoes took over!

Thank you DD! They are such a pleasure to grow!

Oh that sounds like a plan for next spring!
