Keep picking - they make great garden/lottie food - when you are doing long hours a good nibble can keep hunger at bay until you get home. The more you pick, the more it will continue to flower and produce more peas.
Great excuse to have fresh peas in pretty much every meal for a few weeks. I love them sprinkled raw on salads.

Had a few last week, not enough for a full veg portion but then again we didn't have enough early French beans either but they worked dead well together!
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Kids in bed, went out to put chooks to bed and couldn't help myself, now sitting with a few pods munching!!! better than munching on sweets or biccies though!Comment

You can sow quite happily during June. I sowed a load direct about 10 days ago and they are already through and I would have sown some more today if it hadn't been peeing it down all day!

Most of my peas are like the aptly named Gardeners Delight tomatoes and never make it home!

I've been examining my peas at least once a day for the past week, since the first pods started to appear. How fat do they need to be to try them. This is the first time I've grown peas and I have never ever had a fresh pea in my life so dying to get my teeth into them.Comment

Yup mine are podding up, I think its the kelvdon? Can I pick these flat and cook them in their pods or do you have to pop them out of the pods?
CheersComment
