Looks like they are ready to eat Damo! I grow these and, in my opinion, are best when still quite young and crisp. Lucky you, mine are a couple of weeks behind yours. Enjoy!

Thanks Trevor we will. Looks like they’re on tonight’s menu then!!

I’ve never grown mangetout before, but hubby asked for them specifically this year, and seeing as how he never ate any vegetables at all before I got my allotment, I thought I’d better oblige. I’m growing three different heirloom varieties which have been very genorously sent to me by other bloggers. I can’t wait to try them but they’re much further behind than your’s.

Hi Jo I’d be interested to see how you get on. If we like them it’s something I’ll grow more of next year.

Yum… I’m growing the same one, no flowers yet though, let alone pods…

They should make a good meal, I did plant mine out a bit early and risked it.

We’re growing a tall mangetout – Carouby de Maussane – which is supposed to have purple flowers so I’m looking forward to seeing how they grow.

That sounds great Sue, any way you can add a bit of colour to the plot is a good thing.

Wow your mangetout are way ahead of mine. They are my favourite veg and this year I am sowing them at 3 weekly intervals to keep them going for longer.
Have a great week-end

Hi Maureen, I’m hoping we like them. I’ve got another batch to plant out in the next few days so we should get a good crop.

Review of 2011 « Two Chances Veg Plot Blog
[...] a few but they were great and I’ll definitely be growing more next year. Closely followed by mangetout, not many made the steamer as they were great eaten [...]
