Wig-Wam Supports |
Outstanding pod length - 4 to 4½ inches, with 9-11 peas in a pod. Double podded too, it is a super heavy-yielding variety. Only 28 -30 inches tall, with all the pods in the top 10-12in - no more backache. A second early, wrinkle seeded variety, which matures in 100 days from sowing. Resists downy mildew and fusarium wilt. And the taste! Has to be eaten to be believed. Height 70-75cm (28-30in).
Suitable For Freezing
| Sowing time: | Early to mid-spring zones 2-7, early to mid-fall zones 8-10. Can be sown every 10 days for succession. |
|---|---|
| Sowing depth: | Sow in flat bottomed drills 5cm (2in) deep |
Sow in flat bottomed drills 5cm (2in) deep, 15cm (6in) wide spacing the seeds roughly 5cm (2in) apart. Allow 90cm (36in) between rows.
When 7.5-10cm (3-4in) tall provide twiggy sticks for support. Watering when in flower will improve the crop. The peas are ready to pick around 14 weeks from the sowing date.
Regular picking will improve cropping.
