I've sown a rediculous amount of peas, probably too many, too close together. But I'll be sowing more as soon as I've decided where.
My neighbour has BOUGHT 8 plants from the garden centre, she's planted them in a wigwam, I would like to tell her that she will not be able to feed her family of 5 for 1 meal with that but I
don't want to upset her.
I dread to think how much she paid when she could have bought seeds and had soooooo many more....

Does this mean those of us sowing lots of seed have more expea-rience through mis-staking in the past?!
Seriously though peas and beans, beans and peas - it's easy to see why people buy a few plants expecting similar cropping to beans.

I can completely understand the mistake. I don't know what made me plant a gazzillion last year (my first) probably seeing that they could be grown so close together on the pack, being greedy I sowed hundreds! I did however, give them 8 foot stakes

I bet they didn't reach the top! People put peas and beans together - it is an easy mistake. I think Lewak should be proud as seven is a start and next year it could be 70, thereafter 700! Maybe someone should write short guides to ...peas, then beans, etc. If the most experienced/those interested on here took one each say. They could be stickies or put into a How To folder.

It's bean done with other subjects, people don't read them though.

There's so much info in old threads but people don't like to search out the 'archives', they like to post a new question/new thread

With 8 tall peas up a wigwam you could get a small crop. With 8 short peas you won't get more than a meal. The yeilds from tall peas are higher - that's why many of us still grow them, though they are harder to cope with than those small ones you just shove in and which can be self supporting.

ummmm figured this might be the case! Maybe if it was reordered in a folder called How To Guides or something, people might look?!?
