Odsox, I guess yours are in your polytunnel, mine outside aren't flowering yet.

We will have the first cook sometime this week and they will hopefully continue for 3 weeks or so.
Next year I will sow more, this year I didn't have that much seed left so only managed a single row about 9' long (arranged in a U) as opposed to my normal 12' double row, but it was definitely worth the experiment.
I'm having problems with my Borlotti beans, but of the "interesting" kind.

The crop is so heavy that nearly all the strings broke and I had to salvage them by hauling them back up on ropes.
Not that I'm showing off or anything.

Re: Too late for another pea sowing?
Grrrr, jealousy. Given the poor showing of my climbing Berlotti this year, perhaps I'll have to try and find a bit of space in my polytunnel next year. My peas, sown outside at the same time as yours, have hardly started podding up yet.
