These aren't just any peas, these are......

I wear my shorts for gardening yesterday
I put peas in my pocket ready for sowing
I sow peas
I put remaining peas in my pocket
I wash shorts this morning

.....wet purple podded HSL peas noooooooo

[Flummery]

You need to wet them to get them to grow. The temperature of the water might be more of a problem though! Give 'em a go. That'll teach you not to wash your shorts too often!

At least it was plural, imagine if you'd had a pea in your shorts!

By the way Flum, 4 more posts and you hit the grand 5k!

if they survive the water temperature, they will be floppy podded peas due to the softner - dozy mare that I am

.... imagine if you'd had a pea in your shorts!

that comes with age, coughing, sneezing, laughing - erm so I'm told

We often tell my OH's daughter that we had a pea in the courtyard or the garden; the look on her face of total grossout is brilliant - every time. She's 11.

Look on the bright side Piskie - all that softner the peas should have lovely soft skins!

OK so - I washed my peas at gas mark 40oc and put them through a softener cycle, I groaned on to you lot at how stupid I was, I sowed them into large pots (for patio-standing cos they is purdee) last week - THEY ARE UP AND THROUGH AND AT IT AND GROWING AND STUFF ....ooops sorry, got excited then

[Flummery]

Yayy! These old varieties are tough you know (the peas, dear, not us!!)

[piskieinboots]

hope they don't taste of softener ....ewww

[Flummery]

They shouldn't do. People who soak their peas in parrafin to keep the mice off don't complain that the fruits taste nasty.

Let us know how they turn out, if they're extra specially tasy it may catch on and be the latest revolutionary growing technique

hehe yer, I could market the idea - no let's have it as a joint venture cos you lot is lovely and helpful.....
