Yes Dave, you did send me a regular leafed heritage pea (can't remember name at the moment) and the one with the fern-type leaves. That's why I'm keeping them separate so I can enjoy their individual merits.

Going back to Peapod about "fast-food".  How fast do you want, straight of the plant pod them, then eat.  10 secs top?

[DD.]

The regular one is "Stokesley" and the unusual one is "Parsley" it's not an unusual leaf shape, but the tendrils are. (They're supposed to be edible by the way).

All pea shoots are edible they're nice in salads   (as well as the raw peas )

[DD.]

These are the tendrils of "Parsley". There's a fair bit of bulk there & you can see where it gets it's name from.

Its MY fast food...when others laugh at me for having a bad stomach (Im not supposed to eat a lot due to Chrohns!) I always point out its better than a macdonalds ANY day 
If I had to choose my last meal, 10 pounds of fresh peas picked by me would be my starter and dessert (main would be roast lamb dinner)

Oh dear - I have 2 types of heritage peas and some hurst green shaft.  I only have one bed in which to grow them, which is 2-3 yards wide .  I was planning on three rows next to each other ... is this a bad idea?

They won't necessarily be true to type.  Peas aren't as bad as some (eg runner beans) for cross-pollination, and if the seeds will be for your own use it probably won't be a deal-breaker, but you probably oughtn't pass the seed on to other people as the true strain if you can't isolate them.
