The first peas were harvested on Tuesday 22^nd June, 2010 but yields were generally low as the effects of the late frosts took it’s toll, with some flowers being aborted.

Silver Y Moth has been a slight problem, particularly in Petits Pois varieties, resulting in high levels of caterpillars being found in the pods.

 Yields started to pick up once the frosted crops had been picked, and although not as good as last year, the peas were producing above average yields. As temperatures continued to rise, pods developed faster & there were more peas to pick.  Petits Pois yields have been very good.

 The last peas sown reached full flower on 22^nd July, & will probably be harvested around the 11^th – 13^th August, 2010.
