My God DD, just how big is your allotment?  And how do you have room for anything else other than your acres of peas? 
I have spuds in, garlic (very late but taking a chance) onions, shallots & have sown two types of chard, two types of beetroot, two types of turnip, pak choi & some coriander.  I've also put in some raspberries, a greengage, a plum and a damson. Will be getting the peas and broad beans in today & soaking some perpetual spinach seeds tonight to sow tomorrow and will hopefully be diging over what I intend as a herb and salad bed.

I've got 2 1/2 plots totalling about 800 sq m and I posted just to show that it's not just peas I grow!

[BobandJack]

If I could get my hands on another 1/2 plot I'd fill it full of peas, I'm a very big fan.  Sadly it will never ever happen since plots here are very few & far between, I think I was on the list for about 7 years.

Picked the last of our peas yesterday (I planted them up last Autumn)  I´ve some more pea plants just through 3 weeks ago, so waiting to see how they go.  Our neighbour says they won´t flower, we will see. :happy:
We have strawberrys (ripening now) Raspberry (about to flower)  3 plum trees (good lot of fruit hopefully)
The potatoes have been in for about 9 weeks now, had a quick scrape at the roots and there are some good looking spuds there
The toms are coming along well, have flowers already,  the peppers are in, but are still very small.  Aubergine, melon and cucumber are begining to put on some growth.  The garlic is looking good and the onions will be started to lift soon (neighbour says not till St Juans Day, need to find when that is!)  I cut the (all but one)  of the cauliflowers last night too.  So we have plenty of gaps for more veg to go in today.
