I now know to not only provide a support net for the peas to grow up, but to cover them on the outside with a protective cover too. It's great to see other methods of growing and getting information from seasoned gardeners who know what they're on about.

Hi Nigel In my experience growing peas, and it's been many years now I've found it always pays not to sow them too thickly. For a novice grower it's always tempting but the plants will then have to compete with each other and you don't necessarily get more peas. The plants can get stressed which may lead to powdery mildew. I've had this happen in the past. Now I spread them a bit more and they do much better. According to most seed packets you supposed to sow them about 2 inches apart and 'Gardener's World' online state 4 inches. I think maybe this is too much. It can also depend how wide the row is as well. I'm fortunate I can start them directly into the ground as I don't get problems with mice but nothing wrong with the gutter method of course. Everyone has their own ideas and most work. It can also depend on where you live, soil conditions, local weather, even the variety you choose. You made me smile when mentioning about pinching peas when a boy. I used to do this but I always got found out. Maybe I should've hidden the empty pods!
@MuddyBootz

Hi Steve, yes thinner sowings has definitely worked for me. For the soil prep I always have a good layer of rotted cow manure beneath them, usually done the previous autumn. This does retain moisture better and they love it! Many thanks for watching 😀 🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻

Our experience of peas and mangetouts where we are is that pigeons go mad for them to the extent that they are willing to squeeze their way into protective metal cages just to get to them. However, they seem to only want the new shoots and once the plants are more than about 30cm tall, they lose all interest in them and you can leave them completely uncovered.

Hi Julian, sparrows seem to be the main problem on our site and they are taking the tips all of the time, that is why I eventually netted them to save the crop 😀 🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻

@@MuddyBootz Pigeons are our many enemy. We also get a lot of squirrels from Six Acre Wood next door. We have recently had issues with badgers. There are parakeets nearby but we haven't seen them come onto the site.
