Hiya - have been given some Panthers peas which I understand came originally from the HSL. Any idea what height they grow to so that I can sort support appropriately as I can't find anything on t'internet and my friend doesn't know / can't remember.

I've found them in the 2008 HSL catalogue. It says -
Mr Tear, whose family had grown these peas since 1895, gave this variety to our donor Malcolm Lumb. Growing to 120 cm the 'tidy' plants are ideal for growing in small areas. White flowers give way to green pods packed with peas that are sweet and full of flavour
Sounds like a good 'un!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Ooooo, thanks Flum, only have about a dozen seeds, just poking up nicely in root trainers ready to be planted out. Will only be eating this year to try them with the others for seed saving so may have some on offer later in the year. Mind you, bet they won't be "tidy" on my plot, nothing ever is!

If I'd just a bit more conviction in my own thinking I'd have posted that I would suggest providing a 6ft support would be more than adequate.
As it happens, I'm never really sure of meself when giving advice.

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

I was more concerned that I'd do the 6' supports and then find out they were dwarf peas!

Harvested the first of these yesterday and they have produced MASSIVE pods full of large fat but very sweet peas. Will be saving most of the rest of them as am definitely growing them again next year.
