I had a pea from the garden in the garden!

The ones properly on the trellis haven't flowered yet; the wad that I never got around to staking are producing edible pods already...

Taking inspiration from self-sown specimens, I started these snap-peas -- 3rd generation saved, unknown var. -- in early autumn, in situ, amid deep crushed sweetcorn debris, no clearing. The only thing cleared was the wire pig/badger fence when the peas started to go UP it. Whereas I want them to form a low-maintenance, easy-pick CASCADE down towards the path below the terrace. As they did themselves from a compost heap 2 years ago nearby.

Last year, I started them in pots and transplanted them out about now, fraction of the size, and within a few weeks all eaten by slugs. Lesson learned. Their stems are too woody now, and they did their establishment while too cold for slugs.
