Has anyone tried this pea & if so what was the verdict. Is it worth sowing some now.
Why not plant a few and find out.
Well I thought I was growing them but they seem to have got muddled up with my golden podded peas. ;D Its a mange tout so would have thought it was a bit late to grow them now, but could easily be wrong. I'm certainly putting them on my grow again list for next year.
grew them last year,lovely flowers and very prolific :)
You might get a crop given a long summer.
I rate them highly but this year my garden has been so dry all but the smallest pods have gone `fibrous` already :(
Ah, didn't realise that dry conditions caused them to be fibrous, that explains a lot. Have found that the aforementioned yellow podded that I'm picking now are not fibrous - at least not yet!
Do you sow these like say, kelvedon wonder, as in scattering them in a shallow trench? I know they need support.
Thats what I do and seems to work for me :)
