Oh there are such exciting times ahead….the very first pea flowers unfurled their petals last week and now many more are following in quick succession. Only for one variety however. The Purple Podded Dutch Pea is racing ahead of the pack, seemingly anxious to win this year’s non-existent Glenmore award for producing the first pod of peas! I must have done something right with the seed I collected last year. The others are not faring so well….this truly is a hare & tortoise event, with my favourite shelling pea, the ‘telephone’ and the sugar snaps lagging far, far behind…..I’ll keep you posted!
First pea flowers….
