I sowed I think 4 seeds of the first to ripen pink flowered pink red pod plant, 3 germinated although one was a little slow to get going. They have grown on well although a little mildew on the lower leaves. As expected the axil splodges look to be pink and the first flower buds are doubles, yayyy.

I had no pink flowered Sugar Beths last year from your F2 seeds Jayb. But I had a few seeds left in case of disaster. Looking at them there are larger green purple speckled seeds and slightly smaller, sand coloured seeds. Guess the sand coloured seeds might be pink flowering? There were 3, which are now sown and we shall see whether that theory is correct. Leaves me with just a few of the other type for next year.

Please don't get me wrong - pink flowers or not - what I had last year was very exciting! Purple flowers and partially purple snap pods that were just so sweet, like really, really sweet were my favourites. Although I only ate a few pods, they stood out flavour-wise. Size wise they were smaller snaps, but we will see how they do this year. Would also like to freeze a bag as they might freeze really well (she hopes ....).
Those, as well as the lovely juice mangetouts from the Rogue Elisabeth, are keepers from a culinary point of view. Both have been sown again this year.

The snap types I had were smaller types too. Lol I get carried away with pink flowers and pods, I think they are so enchanting
Finding a variety that freezes well would be special.
I MUST get into gear and sort my peas for sending and sowing
