Pea problem
« on: June 09, 2010, 10:01 »
I am afraid I have a different pea problem to some others on this site.  Last year they were dreadful, this year I started them off in a seed tray and they have gone mad.  They are currently about 14 inches high and are now above the pea netting but no flowers.  Might have to try to find some sticks for them somewhere but wonder if I should be pinching out the tops to try to make them flower.  As this is the first year every of my peas actually germinating I am not sure what to do with them.  They are Ambassador too! but from Suttons (I see from the packet that they grow to 16 inches so should have read the back first before I put the pea netting in - doh!).

Do not pinch out peas!!!

Ambassador grow to 2' 6" according to other suppliers, (not grown them myself), so they've a way to go yet and you'll have to sort out more support!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks, seems I got some tall ones then, didn't think pinching out was a good idea, but have never had such tall ones without flowers at this stage!  How tall are your ones OC?
Off down to the woods later to look for some pea sticks!
