  • Peas getting too big?

    So I bought some pea plugs on a whim about 6 weeks ago. They were teeny tiny, about 5 tall each. They were described as Patio Peas; small enough to grow in a tiny space like ours so I snapped them up.

    Since potting them into a big pot they have thrived. I made them a little wigwam type thing using the 90cm willow sticks we had and they have nearly covered it - and are still growing. They are just now starting to grow flowers at the very tippy top of the wigwam, but not really along the rest of it. I don't think these are very small-patio sized at all!

    My main questions are - once the flowers have grown at the top will they grow all over? If not what will happen to the pea shoots if they have outgrown their frame? And, if I need to put longer sticks in to support them should I try and take the old ones out first (they are in a pot so there is not much room for two sets of supports)?

    They are very noob questions I know, but I want to get some trusted advice before I go in all guns blazing and kill the things before the pea pods grow!

    Did it say if they were dwarf peas KS and what kind, or did it just say patio peas? If they are tall enough for you, nip the tops out and they will flower all over and produce peas. My dwarf peas in the garden are about the same height but then they just stop growing upwards. Sounds to me like they might be climbing ones!

      it just said Patio Peas but they guy working there said they didn't grow very high - I'm guessing he was just saying what I wanted to hear!

      I will try nipping them, they seem to have new shoots all over though but I will just see what happens. FLowering all over would be nice though!
