Free Pea 'Meteor' Seeds

[hawthorns]

Wiltshire received 14 peas and a crushed 1

So it looks as though Northumberland has trumped with the fewest pea seeds. My husband has Welsh roots though, so I'm 'peased' off that I didn't get more! I need to count my squash seeds.....

Don't Lorraine you'll only start the war off again

Thats ok VVG, he's quite partial to places where it rains a lot.

Then he should like most of the UK and especially Scotland/Ireland. Personally I think these peas look like the scrapings off the floor, whereas we seem to have a rather generous packet of squash seeds given. Thought they were more expensive usually.

Well I was wondering what to do with the peas to be honest with you, there aren't enough to bother planting in the garden, I was thinking about planting up in a pot for pea shoots over winter.

[veggiechicken]

That's what I've done with mine - they fit a small pot comfortably

[Mikey]

I've never overwintered peas before, are they ok outside, or will I see better returns if I bring them under cover, or in the greenhouse?

[veggiechicken]

I kept mine in the GH last year - that way they're easy to pick for a sandwich. If it wasn't tiddling down I'd go and have a look, see if they're up yet
Hot off the press - they're not through yet but it won't be long. They're much bigger after a week in damp soil

I think my Free peas have become some little creature's breakfast The pot has been dug over - mice, squirrels??
That'll teach me for gloating about having 15 peas

[VirginVegGrower]

Now that's an idea - peashoots in a pot! Well done VC. Sorry you have lost yours. I really am

[veggiechicken]

Aww thanks, VVG! Just as well I have a proper packet of Meteors somewhere! This time I'll put some netting over the pot to keep the greedy little beggars out.

About middling here at 13! Perhaps this is a psychology thing to make us want to buy more to make a full row?
