Well, yes!

If the pea moth get in, you may only rescue one or two seed from each pod, rather than the full pod full.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

If they're the ones marketed as Russia 1cm pea - then yes  I have. They're quite tasty as you say, problem is I can't keep expanding the collection of peas!   I just do half a dozen or so heritage ones now, hopefully next year I'll only be growing self saved seed.

I have a chum who can rent you a 20,000 s.f. shed for your pea collection DD!

Reasonable rent and rates, and well suited for peas and other veg as well, so you could store your broad beans as well!
