Pea Alderman

Heritage Main/Late Crop Pea Aprx 300 seeds җ
A heritage tall maincrop or late pea that is very popular as few varieties crop so well and are so easy to grow. The long, thick pods often contain 11 large peas of excellent flavour. Height 5ft to 6ft tall so you will need some strong supporting canes/twigs or netting frame. Recommended for deep freezing and exhibition use this variety produces a heavy crop of large pods on very robust plants giving a useful prolonged picking season.

Asparagus Pea  Aprx 50 seeds
Not a true pea, but a vetch, forming low, bushy plants. The attractive red flowers are followed by small winged pods which should be picked when only 1” to 3” long, before they become fibrous. Saute whole in butter and they taste very much like asparagus - delicious!

Pea Golden Sweet Organic

Bright Yellow Mangetout Pea 50 Seeds  җ
A desirable and delicious mangetout heritage pea with yellow pods. These can be harvested young when they are bright yellow and eaten raw or steamed or left to produce sweet full grown peas. Best as mangetout though and mid season with strong vines that are abundant producers to 6ft tall with some support. Worth trying growing up a tripod in the flower garden as the half open flowers start cream then to pink and finally a blue purple colour. The foliage is also very attractive with yellow streaks and purple markings and of course the abundant bright yellow pea pods just add to the show!
