  • To Pea or not to Pea!

    Hi everyone, I'm a newbie (although not as new as last year, have got an allotment now!) and was wondering if people thought I would have much luck if I sow some peas now? I sowed some earlier in the year and they have been munched so thought I might try again. What do u think?

    Thanks in advance!

    Depends on the variety but would certainly give it a go - planted my last lot a couple of weeks ago and they're doing great guns.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      I sowed some only 12 days ago (3rd or 4th sowing, lost track a bit) and they popped up within days, they have all come up and have true leaves on now.
      Some on here have said they continue sowing peas until the end of this month so I reckon you've just about got time!

      PS which variety have you got?
      Warning: I have a dangerous tendency to act like I know what I'm talking about.

        I think you'll have plenty of time to sow more peas. I planted another lot a few weeks ago and they're going great - Kelvendon Wonder.

          I know last summer I planted a row the last weekend in July, and I was still cropping them at the end of November. Stick them in and you should get a few anyway - worth the chance I reckon.

            The worst case scenerio is that you won't get any peas but you will definately get nitrogenous roots which you can dig back into your soil which will boost the nutrients for next year.

                You know what, I'm gonna do the same. Mange tout that I planted are tiny - although producing, they look measly. Planting more can't hurt can it?

                Good luck!

                      At first sight, I thought this thread was YET another one about urinating on your compost heap!
