Sometimes the tradition green versions of veg win out over the fancier varieties?

I love the look of the purple pods and will note that for next year. This year I'll try using up the sugar snap peas that I've got as I read that these can be sown in July. Incidentally, I've never had a problem with mildew on peas but the veg patch site is quite breezy as wind is funnelled between blocks of flats! (I do, however, get mildew on courgettes, eventually.)Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-14450509336580961512016-07-02T23:00:04.318+01:002016-07-02T23:00:04.318+01:00We tried Oskar peas this year and they have been g...We tried Oskar peas this year and they have been great.LucĂa Moreno-Velohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161529503085173269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-88064902252381699202016-07-02T18:57:39.100+01:002016-07-02T18:57:39.100+01:00I'm so glad the peas have worked out for you! ...I'm so glad the peas have worked out for you!
