Can I grow sweet peas with other edible peas and runner beans?

I am using a bean tunnel structure with two sides - I thought that I could grow sweet peas on one side and edible peas & beans on the other side. Wondering, because of the sweet pea toxicity, is there a problem with growing these together?

    None.  The only danger would be accidentally picking sweet pea pods and them getting mixed with the edible peas.  Unlikely if it's you doing the picking though. :)
    Edit: for that reason, I wouldn't grow them with mangetout.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
