Pretty Peas

[Flummery]

You can actually shell them and eat them as peas. I believe Two Sheds does this as she doesn't like mangetout. I've been known to eat the pods from the Purple Poded ones as mangetout instead. There are no rules - you do what you like!
I like mangetout uncooked scattered throughout a salad. Lovely and crunchy and pea-flavoured.

I too thought my Goldensweet mange toute had very pretty flowers,
but its the yellow pods everybody on our site remarks on,they are very prolific and taste brilliant.

Can someone post a thread at planting time re pretty crops like this. I also liked the pics of pretty asparagus pea. I have got some started but a little late !
