    It's all right @John Harding - everyone except war garden 572 knew what you were asking.  He thinks he's an expert on veg growing and doesn't think much of anyone on here as none of us are as expert as him.  Just ignore.

    philippasmith2 it has not flowered because the plant has 
    not matured enough.

     

    Read the posts properly  - easy enough if you put your mind to it - and accept that you are not God's gift to veg growers in the UK. It's all very well to spout stuff you have read somewhere but you do appear to lack any actual personal experience.

    I'd be interested to see pix of all your veg plants at some point, and your plot in general
    @war garden 572
    Maybe others would like to see it all too, because you seem to have all the answers. Your crops must be amazing.

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    philippasmith2  growing vegetable in Uk is no different than the rest of world
    with exception of the pest and disease issues.
    the weather issues you describe are same as we get in USA the only difference is the timing. As for the timing of when get a harvest from peas from variety mentioned by original poster. If I grew same manner and grow condition as original poster I would not expect harvest  till  my plants were 90 days from seed sowing.  which in original poster case would july 5.  you can't expect plant produce early if you plant in manner that  includes methods that delay maturity.  

    I repeat.........the issue/query raised by the OP was was "late to flower" and not "late to harvest". Most of the responses dealt with this issue. For myself, my peas sown this  year at the same time as sown last year, are later to flower this year.
    As for your statement "Growing veg in the UK is no different from the rest of the world with exception of the pest and disease issues " I beg to differ.  
  • as I said given  how he grew them it is to early for them flower. 75 days
     to produce peas it only for direct seeded. since he transplanted it should
    take another 20 days before they flower.

    Not sure which emoji denotes a tired sigh but I want to use it.  It's also annoying that the US veg guru is too frightened to let posters put it on Ignore if they choose to.

    war garden 572  With typical transatlantic diplomacy old son, you do seem to frustrate those whose experience OVER HERE far outstrips yours in both practical and literacy terms.  Maybe a US Forum would benefit from your personal, or assumed, authority?  But someone might opt for the quaint old English wish that centres on sex and travel.

    Thank you @Dovefromabove - my emoji choices on here are limited but that looks about right ( x 3 at least ) 
    @nick615 - got it in one ( or 2 anyway )  ;)
