£2.80

Roi de Carouby is a French heritage variety of mange tout peas, which produces huge tasty and crispy stringless pods. These pods are sweet and succulent when eaten raw but are also delicious lightly steamed or stir-fried.
Harvest these pods when the peas are just starting to show in the pods.
The plants grow about 1.8m tall so need a good support and as they grow their flowers are a gorgeous pink and magenta colour.
Approx. 60 seeds
Botanical name: Pisum sativum
- Grown by: Maggie Carr
Sow the seeds direct in April or May in a flat-bottomed drill 5 cm deep and 10 cm wide. Space the seeds 5 or 6 cm apart and cover with soil gently pressing it down for good contact. It is always a good idea to protect the seeds from the birds with netting, and when the seeds have germinated add some supports for the plants. I use home grown bamboo with the sideshoots still attached to provide a good support for the peas to cling to.
