I have been watching the Chelsea flower show on BBC and spotted a good idea for planting peas.  I have a section in my garden where this would work.  However I am not sure if it is too late to sow seeds now.  Can anyone advise.  I am a real novice at veggie growing and joined this website after seeing how much help is given to your fellow gardeners.

I have yet to sow my peas (but very soon!) so to answer the question, yes, there's still time   

To save on disappointment, could you give an inkling of what the idea is as well - I have visions of you planning an archway with peas growing up the sides, in which case, you'd need a tall pea variety rather than a standard one most people grow.  Just a thought

Hi and welcome!  I'm a newbie around here too and will agree with the previous posters.  I've planted a couple rows of peas so far and plan to stagger the planting of several more rows in the hope I have peas ready to pick at different times.  I hope it works or I'll have a major abundance of peas!!

Thanks for the help.  I saw an area that had several fancy arch type trellis (not sure how to describe them)  they were about 3feet tall and the peas were groing up them.  I have a small fence which is about 2feet high and thought that I could get something similar and plant peas to grow up them.

The main risk with sowing this late is that you may get mildew and/or pea moth.

But it's worth a try.

You only just beat me to it!
