a question for DD

Very expensive way.

Yes, the nursery is local to me. They cost from there £4.99 a kilo that's between 3,000 - 6,000 seed, the beauty being that you don't have to buy a full kilo.

Moles Seeds are not too bad, having done a costing with their site. A kilo of Kelvedon Wonder, for example is £4.35,  but the killer is that unlike their other seed, peas and beans attract a postage charge. There is also a minimum order.

But if you want that many, or can share, you can get 2.5 kilos at a total cost of £15.25, the equivalent of £6.10 a kilo, still way, way below what it costs pro rata in piddling little packets.

Quite right too!

Just by way of price comparison, T & M charge £2.69 for 450 Kelvedon Wonder.

Taking an average of 4,500 seed per kilo, this would work out at £26.90 a kilo!

Simples is best!

Not really, I aim  for getting them all in early in the season to avoid the pea moth and mildew.

The nearest to what you may call sucessional sowing was when I sowed Kelvedon Wonder 2 weeks apart.  Picking started 2 days apart.

i only grw peas once an they where full of maggots , that put me right off growing them,may try again next year

I have been given some Mole seeds the germination rate was better than any other seed I have bought. I have looked on their web site. I with my Daughter (who lives in Belgium) will be buying my seed  from them next year.
