gosh - how many peas will you have to have harvested before you've paid off the mortgage for the nets?

The net will last for many years - one year's peas alone would pay for it two or three times over :)

I've had 3 buckets of peas so far, should get about another 4 or 5 bucket fulls at least.

I have 3 x 24ft rows of Kelvendon Wonder peas all germinated but some were eaten by the evil pea weevil but there are still loads growing. I haven't got a net big enough to cover them all so they are open to the pea thieves. If (and that's a very big IF) I grow them next year I will get a big net  :)

Now that's a truly impressive construction, Aunt Sally!

Did you have to sew lots of netting together to make one large net?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I call this "Peaopolis"  :lol:

4 x 15ft rows of Kelvendon Wonder  :D

The net to keep the pigeons off is high enough to walk under.

Am loving your peaopolis...this has given me inspiration for next year :)
