pea shoots

[Rosyred]

I'm looking at growing pea shoots for salads, the question is do they re sprout once i've cut them or it that it??

They keep going for weeks! Are you using Snow Peas?

Oh my goodness these are my favourite things at the moment! Didn't know they regrow though.

So tasty :)

I've just bought some Leo dried peas. The ones Alys was using in THE edible Garden. I've got some batchelors marrowfats about to burst forth ;).

Granny what supermarket did you buy those from ? [Leo peas]

I just brought dried peas by Batchelors to try. I'll put some to soak overnight now ready to plant tomorrow.

Do I have to watch them so they don't grow too big and only cut the top off??

[goodlife]

as long as there is leaf left below the cut they will re grow

[Rosyred]

Thank you  :)

I am using Dwarf grey for pea sprouts, with a purple flower of you let them grow on, they are recommended for shoots

Duke, Asda have them in, and that is really weird as I saw the box on the shelf last week and the first thing I did was tell the wife that "thats the box of peas alys was growing" I nearly got away with putting them in the trolley too......

Hi Rosyred I am hoping to grow some pea shoots this year & have sown them straight into compost without soaking first. I was wondering if they will be ok as you mention soaking yours?

[Rosyred]

They will be fine Crystalmoon, i was giving them a head start but it could mean they go rotten as too wet so see what happens. Not holding too much hold on these batchlor peas I used as alot were in half.
