Pea-nelope.

If they all have a 'pea in the pod' should the names all be female?   :D

Given up trying to count buds & flowers.

Pod count is now 17, looks like 7-8 peas in most pods. Still loadsa flowers & buds on the plant.

And I thought I was ambitious trying to get a 100 fold return!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks DD, if you become a member of HSL (£20.00 pa) do you get sample seeds from a catalogue FOC? and Kent Blue may well be in that catalogue?

Yes you do, you get a choice of 6.

The problem was that the website implied that by joining the HSL, you could get Kent Blue. I knew full well that you couldn't as I'd already got the catalogue for the year.

They admitted the mistake when I pointed it out and sent me 10 seeds for my troubles. I sent 9 on to Bill as it was due to his enquiry that we found the slip up and I retained the one as a "pet"!
