we find as long as you can keep them dry , cool and dark they will keep fairly well, put them into some dry peat and make sure light is excluded.

Mr Hocking, I thought a man of your caliber would know such things lol

I would be hoping you would be getting them in the Southern Championships

Cut the haulms off and leave for 2 weeks to allow the skins to get hard. Make sure you keep them dry

If they are in bags, put them in a shed, if in the ground, cover

They after a week or so, select your sets, be careful not to damage the skins as they won't be hard enough until at least the 2 weeks

Then put your sets back in some dry peat/compost

They will store well enough to keep for shows throughout the year 

Get any problems or want any advice, give me a ring

I will pm you my number

Look forward to seeing you there this week

I remember them peas well
