I have some early peas which have formed loads of pods but are at the mangetout stage but I have to go away for a week for work.  Will they have filled out by the end of a week or do I need someone to crop when I am away?
Time waits for no man and I can't wait for growth.

Theyll be fine for a week,will take about 10 days to 2 weeks

Got pods on mine too! (cue overexcitement in my house  :D )

Mine have just started flowering so really excited. Don't really have the space for peas as they take up so much room for not a great deal of return (as I have a very little garden) but they taste just so amazing fresh from the pod!
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
