Another disappointment, proving you can't believe the description on seeds. I'm going to try the 'Jessy' ones next year, I believe you said they were nice and sweet.
Well, I grew some ordinary peas, Hurst Green Shaft, and the peas had the traditional sweetish taste and thought I might get that taste with a mangetout, but also realise it's the pea that tastes nice not the pod so logically as the pea is nascent in mangetout it would probably lack the sweetness of a full grown pea. But it was worth a try. Sticking with Bijou next year, but not the golden sweet, they get stringy very early on. The sugar bon/oregon sugar pod I grew tasted better, just wish I could remember which one it was
