So preety :D
Does that mean they remain purple when they are cooked?
Nice thing with peas you can save the seed.
Peas are green within the pod. The pods make a crackin' coloured wine. 8) Cheers, Tony.
I thought they were mangetout. Other types the purple pods turn green when you cook them.
I think it must be going in the new catalogue. I've looked through peas & beans & it isn't there yet.

Hmm never made pea pod wine, are they ok at the same time the peas are ready? or do you pick them when younger? I always think of James Herriot when pea pod wine is mentioned :D
