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/ (http://www.realseeds.co.uk/) and The Organic Gardening catalogue http://www.organiccatalog.com/ (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`
