They were on the HSL list this year, perhaps someone may have some spare? Everyone else seems to be out of stock!

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Are they specially good or something? I mean "Ne plus ultra"'s quite an extravagant claim!

Don't know if they are particularly good, but I remember that they were the ones grown in 'The Victorian Kitchen Garden'

Historically they were one of the first sweet peas, wrinkled and eaten fresh... older peas were round hard and mealy for use cooked in medieval peas porridge/mushy pea type dishes... for the protein like other pulses today..
