Peas near Newlands - detail
Peas near Newlands - detail
Not the sort of crop I would expect to find at 205m elevation in the Lammermuir 'foothills'. They were very small, but vigorous plants that looked as if they might have been sown not long ago, and a long way from flowering and producing peas. For a wider view see NT5666 : Peas near Newlands.
Enquiries have established that this is indeed a crop being grown as 'garden peas', and is expected to be ready for harvest in early September. Some crops are grown as high as 300m a.s.l. Thanks to Richard Byass, LinkExternal link for this information.
