  • No flowers on my mangetout and sugarsnap plants

    Hiya
    I planted some mangetout and sugarsnap seedlings on June 1st. They started to grow straight away and are now about 2 feet tall and leafy. However there isn't a single flower to be seen. Any ideas what's wrong anyone? Or even should they be in flower yet? I don't know the variety because I bought them from B&Q and they were just labelled as mangetout and sugarsnap.
    Hope someone can help
    Thanks
    Sue

    Be patient - if they're growing well the flowers will soon appear.

      They will come good, just need more time as RL says.

        They're only a month old, give them time.

          Thanks everyone, you were right. We had 2 weeks holiday, came home to find a bumper crop of mangetout and sugar snaps. So now that I've harvested them what to do next. i presume the plants go onto the compost heap but what could I plant in their place? Carrots for example? I've only grown some in containers which are still very small. Is it too late to plant some in the ground? Would carrot fly still be a problem at thistime of year. Also isit ok to plant leeks after peas or would they be better to plant them after potatoes?
          Any advice welcome folks x

            Sow or plant whatever you like. Carrots will netting against fly though.
