sweet peas?

[Yorkie]

Certainly a member of the pea family and my immediate reaction was the same as Hilary's

Could be mangetout "Carouby de Maussane" or similar.

Carouby de Maussane can grow to 5'. Looks like some seed may have got mixed into your Early Onward!

I'd treat it as a bonus.

looks like asparagus pea

[Snoop]

I'm growing mangetouts and your flowers and big leaves look just like mine.

It should have purple pods.

[diggerjoe]

If they are the golden ones like Swing Swang and they look very like them - they will be romping away  -mine are 3 ft already really easy to grow but a bit like courgettes far too many to eat and loads to give away and thats from a 6ft row
