There are 4 pots, all with self seeded lettuce in and, despite having hundreds of lettuces growing everywhere in the GH, I could not allow myself to pull up the ones in pots. Instead, I tried to poke the peas in at intervals, wherever there was room alongside the lettuce........counting as I did so...........1, 2, 3,4 then I dropped a few and they fell under the lettuce and I lost them! I don't even know how many peas I started with as I saved them earlier this year................actually, they may not even be Bijou but I think they are. Time will tell.
I also have a tray of 5 year old Bijoux nestling in a bed of damp kitchen roll to see if they're viable. If they are I'll find them a space too, maybe another bucket or 3.
1, 2, miss a few, 99, 100 - as we seem to have a childish theme today. I appreciate your efforts Veggie, I know order is not your strong point

I too planted peas today. Quite a novelty for me as I don't normally grow them, I got fed up with pea moth grubs. The Bijou are in cells on the window sill - as yet unnoticed by P

I sowed the BBs earlier in the week. So you can rest assured my new GH is being used over the winter. I have a couple of strawberries going pink, mimulus, euonymous cuttings, chard, beetroot and spring onions, carrots and begonia cuttings and now peas and beans.
The new GH has more light, everything struggled in the winter in the old one.
