Tall Peas
« on: June 17, 2007, 22:22:27 »
Can anyone advise me where I could get some of the tall peas I believe they are an old fashioned variety.Thanks.
My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in. Bill Shankly.

There are quite a few tall vatieties and several places to buy the seed. I have just finished harvesting my earlies which were a var called Pilot. For maincrop I use Alderman but there are others.

Have a look at the Real Seed co website http://www.realseeds.co.uk/ and The Organic Gardening catalogue http://www.organiccatalog.com/ although the latter seems to have gone down hill a bit in my opinion.

Alderman is one of the best-I prefer Hurst Green Shaft but that`s not  a classic `tall pea`
