1st pea

[Two_Sheds]

me again ... I ate my first peas today. I was so excited I forgot to take a picture first

It was sown direct in October (a row was, but only this one survived). The plant is horizontal as I couldn't be bothered to stake one plant.

Great news TS. Nice to see the excitement doesnt fade after you've been growing a while

Woohoo for peas! I had my first peas on Tuesday. Well, i picked one pod thinking it was ready and found 5 tiny little half grown peas inside. They were absolutely delicious though yum! Then 3 supremely tasty strawberries, 1 of which I gave to the boyfriend. The last 6 months of back-breaking digging was totally worth it!

At what stage do the peas form? Are they from flowers? Ours are about 2ft tall but cant see any pods.

I spotted the first flower on mine yesterday so a few weeks wait for me yet!

Great news on your first peas - I have a few flowers on mine so hopefully wont have too long to wait.

I just love peas mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The pea pods grow when the flowers have died jonohanson. They are really fast. One week my flowers were wilting, the next I had a full size pod! Then another week or 2 for the pod to fill and tuck in!

I also picked my first peas this week, didn't make it to the kitchen though.

Do have a confession to make though ...... what I thought were meteor peas were in fact sweetpeas and the meteor peas ended up in the space for the sweetpeas

and yes, I did label but must had a special moment at planting time

I've done exactly the same thing. My front fence was supposed to be smothered in sweet peas ... instead it has a row of 12" high pea plants with pods on
