I was given some peas by Clive last year which are labelled "Radio".

Can anyone advise if they're a dwarf variety or climbing?

I tried to PM Clive but haven't had a reply yet.

Here is a discussion about them - I see a mention of 8' canes.

Colin,
They originate from Clive and Radio is a 6ft variety best sown in straight rows so that you can access both sides!

Hello Colin_M,

I have not seen a pm on the system ref the Peas....but then Johnboy can advise how difficult it is to get a pm to me. :wink: ...it all revolves around a dot after Clive

ie; Clive.

Anyway, thank you to Geoff and Johnboy for coming to your assistance, I'm sure you have now gleaned that they are certainly not dwarf.. :)

Clive. :wink:

Thanks to everyone - that's exactly what I wanted to hear!

I really like growing peas. Initially I started with the dwarf varieties but since trying climbers, I haven't looked back.

Sorry for getting your address details wrong Clive. That sneaky "." certainly caught me out :)
