Pick your own peas
« on: July 23, 2008, 13:41 »
When I was little my Gran and Gramp used to take me to a big farm that did pick your own peas - I think it was out Ross on Wye way but can't be sure.  Does anyone know of any PYO farms that do peas?

No chance of them making a profit if me & peapod went!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

You can pay a lot of money elsewhere for that sort of thing.


So I'm told.

I suppose this isn't a good time to tell you that your IP was logged when you signed up to that "grannies in wellies" site that promised you complete anonymity? ... ohhh yeah, yer activation email will be sent shortly, just having a problem with the male server ..... he's demanding overtime ( you just can't get the staff nowadays :-S )
