Johnsons Pea Mangetout Norli Seeds
Early, dwarf plants produce masses of small stringless, tender and sweet ‘eat all’ peas. As the whole pod is eaten, there is virtually no waste. With a compact, dwarf habit, this variety is ideal for exposed or windy locations. Protect younger plants from birds with twigs or netting and provide support with pea sticks or netting for easier picking, especially in windy locations. Keep moist and weed free at all times. Shows good tolerance to disease, especially Fusarium oxysporum. If continuous crops are desirable regular picking is advisable. Easy to grow and versatile, peas and beans make a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. As well as being a traditional side, legumes also provide a terrific source of protein for a vegan diet. Peas and broad beans prefer cool conditions but need to be grown in full sun or partial shade.
Short on space? Many varieties are well suited to growing in plant pots. Ideally you do not want to overcook either peas or beans, keeping just a touch of crispness.
