We did a very quick harvesting from a couple of our pea and bean plants and the results were surprisingly positive.

We only have a few snow pea plants and a short row of maincrop (kelvedon wonder) peas plus a few broad bean plants. The other day we nipped up quickly to the plot and managed to get a few things before the rain started.

The total amount after I’d shelled them all was 824g, that’s 1.8 lbs. That is only from a few plants and there are still lots growing, just waiting to be picked.

I wanted to share this with you all because I wanted to encourage those of you who don’t grow any veg or are thinking ‘what’s the point?’, that you can get a lot of food from a small growing space! No chemicals or pesticides, grown 100% organically and many from home-saved seed. I see a point in that and I hope you do too.
