This pea has aroused considerable excitement! No other is quite like it, as, if it is picked young, the fleshy pods can be treated like French beans, cooked and served whole. Older pods should be 'stringed', but still cooked whole. Try serving the pods raw in a salad. A most worthwhile and versatile pea.
Hardy annual.
When to plant: Late Summer to Winter
How to grow: Sow in flat trenches 6in (15cm) wide, and 2in (5cm) deep. Plant seeds in a zig-zag fashion along the middle of the trench, allowing 3in (7.5cm) between them. Fill trenches with soil and gently firm down. Where more than one row of peas is required, allow 3ft (90cm) between rows. Protect from birds with netting or black cotton during the early stages of growth. We advise using sticks or twigs to support the crop as this will make picking easier and improve yields. Keep well watered. Harvest: Spring
Warnings: This product cannot be delivered to Tasmania.
