PEAS
Peas are sown in April into fine smooth seedbeds and initially appear as a fine light green colour in early May.
In mid June the crop flowers with a white petals and after flowering becomes very tangled in appearance.
This crop is unlikely to become too tall for landing before the middle of June and some dwarf crops may never get more than 25cm high.

Early August

1000-1500ft
Surface
Peas are changing colour as they ripen over the next 2 weeks and will eventually become light brown when they are ready for harvest.
Peas are in the two fields to the left of the road .

Early July
1000-1500ft
Surface
Peas show as a pale green colour  with the ground almost always visible through the crop. However there are some crops such as the one in the ground image that are quite tall at around 35cm and will need extreme care if used for outlandings.
With the large number of setaside fields available this year it would be better to avoid peas.
