A versatile and worthwhile pea variety producing fleshy pods that can be picked young and cooked whole like French beans, or left to mature and eaten after stringing. Pods are also delicious raw in salads. Hardy annual with excellent yields.
How To Grow

Provide trellis or support for climbing plants. Protect seedlings from birds with netting during early growth. Sticks or twigs can also be used to support the crop, making harvesting easier and improving yields. Seedlings emerge in 7–10 days. Keep well watered once germinated.
