can anyone help, my peas have grown quite well, have lots of fat pods, but most of them have been empty, where have i gone wrong.

Are they mangetout?

[mrs hop]

on the packet it says they are 'early onwards', i had a few pods with peas in, we had them for dinner today, and they were very nice. just can't understand why most of the pods are pea-less.

Did you keep them watered during the dry spell?

[mrs hop]

they have been watered every day and fed frequently.

[DD.]

Ah.

Feeding may be the problem. Peas don't need it. Thay may have caused the plant to put energy into leaf & pod, but not the pea.

[mrs hop]

thank you for that, is it to late to plant some more and try again.

[DD.]

You've just about got time. Get an early variety.

[mrs hop]

thanks for your help, will try some more and see what happens, and no feeding !!!
