That's all I recorded but the Achocha kept going until we had a bad frost.

How many mangetout?

Very sadly I started to count how many mangetout we had with hindsight I should really have done weight!

After the second week we had a major problem with the plants collapsing, next year I shall use chicken wire to let them scramble up to prevent this.

I'm now seed saving and getting a few more mangetout each day in addition.
