A mangetout pod is a developed pea pod! The pod is developing as it emerges from the flower.

I get what you are saying, but I was just repeating what the RHS website says i.e.  "...mange-tout types of pea, where the pods are eaten before the seeds develop, should not become infested." and "After hatching, the caterpillars bore into the developing pea pods and begin feeding on the seeds."  Both of which, to me at least, suggest that the pea moth does not normally enter the pea pod at the mangetout stage.

By mangetout do you mean snow peas?

[crh75]

Yes.

We always try a July sowing, and have six trays of modules with plants about an inch high, so they'll go in this week in a couple of spare beds.

May get mildew - may not...

The peas I planted back in July are doing fab.  The Mangtouts are the best I ever had and there isn't a sign of mildew.

Good news, Eblana!

We've had the best results this year from our July sown ones, and they're still cropping too!

It's always a lottery, but worth popping in a few seeds if there's some space!

If they do grow you might be able to harvest fresh frozen peas in December! 😊
