In spite of the drought, the peas look very well and are in flower.

These peas were planted late, in the last week of May.

They are a semi-leafless pea, with lots of tendrils which wind round each other and help hold the plant up.

Soon the flowers will develop into the pods full of tiny peas. They can be eaten early as mangetout (the whole pod), or we can wait for the peas inside to grow & eat them as peas.
The pea flower has to be fertilised to produce the pod, but most blooms self-pollinate while still in bud.
