This is an established and reliable variety of mangetout producing an abundance of 9-10 cm flat pods with a great sweet taste – to enjoy raw or cooked. Grows up to 1.2 m tall, crops over a long period and is resistant to mildew. My favourite mange tout recipe is a fresh Matter Paneer curry and they’re also great simply barbequed with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Approx. 60 seeds per pack.
Botanical name: Pisum sativum
- Grown by: Lauren Simpson
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.
