Mangetout
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:48 pm
Has anybody tried overwintering mangetout in a cold greenhouse or tunnel? If so which varieties have been successful?
I sowed Sugar Ann and Golden Sweet in tubs on 27th September in a cold greenhouse. I fleece them overnight when seriously frosty. The results are interesting - on the left the short Sugar Ann, which are now starting to show a bit of effort, and on the right the vigorous Golden Sweet with their pretty mauve flowers (pity they are not quite as good to eat).
