Pea Blauwschokker -Highly productive Tall variety with superb flavour.

Tall plants producing good yields of succulent bright green peas. An abundance of red and violet flowers are followed by deep purple pods, very attractive. Excellent source of folate, vitamin A & C.

To Sow & Grow: Sow outdoors where they are to crop, in flat drills 15cm (6 inches) wide and 5cm (2 inches) deep. Sow in a zig- Zag fashion along the drill, allowing 5cm (2 inches) between seeds. Fill the drill with fine soil and firm down gently. Allow 60cm (2 inches) between rows. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 10-18 days. Early sowings benefit from frost protection. Sticks or twigs placed either side of the row for support will make picking easier. Water well until plants are established. Successional sowings will ensure a continuous supply and long harvest. Pick regularly for the best yields.

Mr. Fs Tips: Protect seedlings from birds with twigs or bird scarers. Water well and evenly during dry spells to ensure plump and succulent peas.
