never tried them but as with all peas, you will need barbed wire around them if there are kids about

Peawee
Little Pea marvel
Ceresa
Has anyone grown these?

Basically I'd like something the kids will hoover up and high yielding.

Thanks

Never tried these varieties, Red, but I did notice that there is a packet of Ceresa peas in the VSP.

Thanks Hazel, I've never really looked at the seed swap. Didnt think the stork did drops to Ireland.

Hadn't thought of that.

You'll have to check with VC.

I've no idea what the postage to Dublin would be - not much, I'm sure. I'm sure we can come to some arrangement redser

ah you're very good! Speaking for myself, not for the other paddys on here, I'm actually sorted for this year. So maybe I'll stick my nose in in the future??

Whenever you're ready red

**Hazel at the Hill** · 07-02-2013, 03:26 PM

In that case, can I try the Ceresa, VC?

**veggiechicken** · 07-02-2013, 03:34 PM

Of course Hazel! Plenty to go round - there's an unopened packet T&M! Does look rather tempting!!

**Hazel at the Hill** · 07-02-2013, 03:37 PM

Cheers m'dear - will pop a couple of packets of Rocket in the env. to you - I've ended up with about 8 identical packets for some reason (a giveaway where I got far more than my fair share, I suspect!)

Why don't you split the pack with me?

**veggiechicken** · 07-02-2013, 03:47 PM

Just opened the packet - they're tiny little peas

OK I know they're dried out but I think I would eat a plant full in passing

There are 250 peas in a pack

I might try about 10 though having seen the size of them not sure I'll bother with one!!
