TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 And now Jim is in a field shooting and keeping the farmer very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Neal Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 ...and now Jim is back home, almost thawed out Glad I took my fishing brolly and decided to sit with my back to that wind, although the hedge is so sparse it barely slowed it down. Went and fetched the stiff plastic load liner from the back of the car to use as a wind break between the brolly and ground. The hail storm followed by sleet & snow was not pleasant. Brrrrr!!

aga man Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Certainly not peas! Looks like some sort of root crop to me. These are peas at a couple of inches tall. Edited March 6, 2016 by aga man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belly47 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) They are sugar snap peas. Just text farmer to confirm for any non believers. Edited March 6, 2016 by belly47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Seem to be drilled in beds, like onions etc. What do they use to harvest them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Sorry to doubt your crop recognition belly and peas they must be. To most of us pigeon shooters and amateur agriculturalists it is unusually early for peas to be so far on. One good frost and they may be lost.

Not a problem jdog, the comments had me doubting myself as you guys are far more experienced with all things shooting than me. I certainly remember eating my share last year! Freshly picked sugar snaps are gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
