I wonder, could it be the same people who count their toilet roll inners :unsure:  :D

Yes, actually it is, isn't it?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I call £1.98 for 200 very expensive, my local nursery sells them loose at £4.99 a kilo and you'd get 3,000 to 6,000 seed. 200 would cost you about 13p tops.  :lol:

As we all know you have to be very careful saving the seed from cucurbits - or do you want be to post that piccie again!

What piccie? What Piccie?

I have grown mangetout in the past but now prefer sugar snaps as I hate the way MGs look when they go over..!  :tongue2: I now sow sugar snaps as they can be left to harvest as peas if they go over without any loss of crop.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

OK, but I apologise to the longer serving members!

This should have been a trailing marrow, but it got too friendly with a pumpkin:

Inevitably, we miss picking some mange tout so they end up getting really big. Not wanting to waste anything we've grown, we tend to cut the overlarge pods into strips across and bung them in a stir fry. Yummy!

It's a plant I actually gave to someone else. Don't think any seed were saved.
