Late peas


The late crop peas (Feltham First) that I sowed quite thickly in mid July are now in flower and will hopefully squeeze in a good crop before the weather goes too cold and dark.
The thickly sown seeds are in raised beds where you can generally pack more in than standard beds and are now 18-24" high and are pretty much self supporting which is a boon. The less work you make for yourself the better. Keping them well watered reduces the incidence of mildew so these are watered heavily twice a week with rainwater.
