Pea pods

Not quite sure what you're getting at here.

If they sell them in packets at the garden centre - that's the sort you eat!

Like a lot of vegetables, there are hundreds, if not thousands of varieties.

Kelvedon Wonder are another good one.

I can show you the photos.

whilst am here mate..when i was digging out the pond i dug out a load of clay filled soil and dumped it down the garden ...Am just wondering if i can grow anything in this or not whether it be veg or flowers as ive only got a small patch as it is and this seems wasted space


Dont have the patience and space to move it elsewhere

The first part of the answer depends on the type of clay soil you dug up.  Is it dark, or a more orangey colour?  The orangey colour is subsoil and there is no point in trying to grow anything in it or improve it.

If dark coloured, it's more likely to be topsoil but clay is quite hard to grow in as it either puddles in rain or goes completely concrete-like when dry.  It needs masses of improvement by addition of organic matter e.g. compost, leaf mould, manure etc over time.  Once improved then it is great to grow in.

So, depending on how solid the clay is, and whether it's subsoil or topsoil, you might well be able to grow in it eventually.

Re.Peas:  Have you tried some mangetout or sugarsnap peas?  You can eat them whole.  You may also like marrowfats for mushy peas. I've gone for kelvedon wonder, too this year, they're just ordinary peas, but we love 'em!
