Default Autumn sown peas?

Just sown some Feltham First (Is Feltham a place?) peas! Anyone had good/bad dealings with them?

I've sown some in a foor foot length of guttering in the greenhouse. I may sow some outside as land becomes available!

I think it's in London. There was a tram called that too. (Probably never came in first though)

I sowed some in the veg. patch last autumn & covered them with a polythene type cloche for the worst of the winter. I got a small crop in the early spring & they were quite nice, they don't grow very tall & only needed a few twiggy sticks for support.

Feltham is where they send the naughty teens, eventually, after lots of warnings.
As for the peas, I would say as soon as it is cool enough and as long as there is enough time for them to fruit.

Just realised that you are talking about over-wintering! I was meaning a late crop.
