Thank you Rhys, that’s an interesting point about the peas, I suppose as long as they were grown in good compost each year they would still be strong plants producing good viable seed.
I am finding Back garden seed sowing by Sue Strickland a really fascinating book,as well as all the great advice on the real seed company website I am going to give it ago.
At the moment I am licking my wounds, a trip to the allotment yesterday revealed most of my brassicas had been eaten by slugs, and some how the pea weevil got in under the fleece and decimated my pea shoots.
Who said it was the gentle art of gardening? It’s a war going on out there.
