Nahhh they're in a basic roughly 30cm diameter teracotta pot. Placed around a wigwam of canes and grown up.
I have two pots full with two wigwams and have tied string around the tops of the wigwams, like across them so the peas have started growing along it almost like a bridge of peas.
It works really well and has stopped em growing too high and growing infront of the window or something.

If you two are finished complementing each other on how absolutely lovely and gorgeous you both are, can I just add my congrats to New Bud on the exam results - and also on your peas - they look really good - are they Hurst Greenshaft by any chance ?
SS - at what age do you qualify to become an old man ?????

The trouble, SS, is that although a man may age physically, his brain gets stuck at adolescence - so the mind is always willing but the body just couldn't keep up
