Though now having read how densely you planted yours I'm thinking I should go and push a few more seeds into the ground. I certainly won't be having a glut of peas, but Miss Three just loves to eat them while we're playing in the garden so they're worth it just for that. And hopefully I'll be able to pick enough for at least one meal for the rest of us.Barbara Goodhttp://thenewgoodlife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-14707872879699440902012-04-22T15:12:18.269+01:002012-04-22T15:12:18.269+01:00They look great.

I'm envious of the space you have to devote to them.

I got them from a place called gardenoasis.co.uk, based in Tamworth, but lots of places (like most of the big seed companies) sell the same ones. They are called "Longrow" cloches, made by Parasene. Approx £35 each.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-40982976450606126862012-04-21T18:28:17.409+01:002012-04-21T18:28:17.409+01:00I love peas eaten fresh from the pod, no taste qui...I love peas eaten fresh from the pod, no taste quite like it. Mine are still in the greenhouse as I started them in modules to be planted out at a later date. The second sowing will be direct. I'm trying my best to stagger and prolong the harvest.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-80711239366544963322012-04-21T18:26:10.809+01:002012-04-21T18:26:10.809+01:00It's looking brilliant - I just love your vegg...It's looking brilliant - I just love your veggie garden<br /><br />Can you tell my where you bought your plastic ridged cloches please?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243672302584272760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-12712547364397111072012-04-21T18:13:56.529+01:002012-04-21T18:13:56.529+01:00All my peas are sugar snaps or snow peas.

She loved peas. But she would eat them in the garden so I wouldn't have to shell them myself.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.com
