I always grow ‘snap’ peas, rather than ‘shelling’ peas. The pods are fleshy and juicy, and just as tasty as the peas themselves, so you get double the crop and none of the waste! This is an unusually tall variety, so will need support, but you’ll be rewarded with high yields of sweet and tasty pods that stay tender and stringless all through the season. They have a long cropping period, which can be extended with frequent picking. Great chopped up in summer salads with some feta and red onion, or stir fried super quick to preserve their crisp, juiciness.
Approx. 80 seeds.
Botanical Name: Pisum sativum
- Grown by: Carolyn Moody
Sow March-April under cover in root-trainers, pots or lengths of guttering. Harden off and plant out into fertile soil once 10cm+ (4”) tall. Plants grown in guttering need a firm lengthways knock to loosen the roots from the gutter and then they can then be slid directly into a shallow trench. Can also be sown direct if protected from mice. Spacing: 7-10cm (3-4”) between plants and 30-40cm (12-16”) between rows. Dig in plenty of organic matter initially, and water regularly throughout the season.
Unlike smaller bush varieties, these climbing varieties grow between 1.5 and 2m (6ft) and will require sturdy supports like chicken wire or pea netting.
