    Mangetout or Petit Pois? Help!

    Hi All,
    School boy error...I planted both mangetout (Oregon sugar pod) and petit Pois (waverex) in the same location without labelling. I haven't grown peas before and need some help to identify which is which!

    I picked 10 tonight, my guess is that the pair in the middle are the Petit Pois, the rest being mangetout?

    Lesson learned for next year! Appreciate any advice! Thanks!

      After a while,you will soon recognise what is which,the mangetout,grow flat,and a bit wider than the round type,also a paler green,well mine were anyhow,howerer,if you want to save seed for next year,then let them get fat peas,you will know the difference,as the mangetout get really big,just dont do what i did,and end mixin em up :rolleyesto add,best picked for eating when smaller,as they get tough,they also good on their own as a veg,not just stir fries.

        Yes those pair in the middle definitely look like Petit Pois to me.
