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!

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!

An outstanding first early variety, 2ft to 2ft 6”, producing a heavy crop of blunt 2” - 3” pods, borne mainly in pairs against bright green foliage, filled with succulent tasty peas. Flowers and sets pods over a very long cropping period. AGM award winner.

French mangetout type with dark green pods of a good flavour. Improved sugar type and the flat pods are eaten whole while young. Resistant to fusarium wilt.

An excellent, main crop, wrinkled variety, producing high quality, double pods. One of the best cropping varieties, with rich green, straight, long pods containing on average 10 deliciously plump peas. Resistant to Fusarium wilt and suitable for freezing.

An interesting 4ft to 5ft main crop heritage variety with bright purple pods and ornamental pink flowers. The peas are green but the pods as mangetout are delicious and even retain their purple colour when cooked. In our trials the plants were quite heavy cropping over an extended period.

A fine quality early ‘Sugar Snap ’ pea, that produces heavy yields of crisp sweet fleshy 2.5" pods, which can be eaten raw or in stir fries. Stringless when immature. A compact bushy plant that should not require support and bred for flavour! Suitable for freezing.
