I'm disappointed by the sugar snap peas - they haven't been as prolific as I'd hoped and although you're supposed to eat them whole mine have gone a bit stringy and tough so I've started to shell the peas. If I'm going to do that then I might as well grow ordinary peas. I remember last year Jane and I sat down in the garden shelling peas one evening and just talked about things. It was a really relaxing activity so I think next year I'll go back to growing ordinary peas.
