I can't find my camera either (lies!)
well each day I delay taking a picture, they grow a bit more
I will have a picture by the weekend
My mange tout are only just starting because I bought a bedraggled tray from the garden centre which were pot bound & about 2 foot long so I cut them right back to their second shoots in hope of giving them a better chance, they are just starting to find their way to the first rung of the obilisk.
I love mange tout so hope I actually get some!!

What do you do when they get to the top of the canes?
(I was wondering about this the other day )

I just leave them to ramble, sometimes they come back down again

There is a alternative that's safe to use.

A liquid concentrate that dilutes with water then use with a watering can on to the plant soil area.

Murphy's did one called slugit but I think it has been replaced by slugclear.

Ok, here are my attempts
I am trying, but I can't seem to stop them mangling up, I wanted them straight but bushy, but they have a mind of their own!!




and my mange tout
