Hi All,
My 1st time in growing pea's, and have had quite a few pods come up, only trouble is, although the pods look ripe for the picking ie, swolen and large, when i open the pods I find that the peas are very very small (but sweet), have I done something wrong does any one know what has caused this problem.

I think you just need to wait a few days for the peas to swell up inside the pods - I usually tell as the larger peas make the pod heavier - at the same time don't let them go over as they lose their sweetness.

hope this helps,

cheers,

Wow what a quick reply I think that you are right, maybe I am just a bit too keen to get picking & eating. thanks
