My pea harvest is now over. I have been growing a variety called 'Kelvedon Wonder' for three seasons now, and I have realised where they get their name, it is because I am always left thinking 'I wonder what's happened to all my peas.' Time for a change next season I think.
A ridiculously small harvest again this year, I suspect mainly due to drought. No pea moth attacks this year though, due to my ingenious mesh cage, created from bamboo canes, held together with old drinks bottles to stop the canes poking through the net. Excellent fine grade insect mesh purchased online from Harrod Horticultural. Best not to think about how much time, effort and money went into growing about 5 grams of peas.
