Description

Wrinkle - Second Early.

We believe Pea Canoe produces the most seeds in a pod. We have spotted many 11 and 12 seeded pods in the seed crop, but can you find lucky 13? This aptly named variety has long, slightly curved pointed pods similar to a canoe. Pea Canoe produces a heavy crop of pods, on semi-leafless, almost self supporting plants when grown in a block. Ideal for freezing and sure to be an exhibition variety of the future.

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.

A great variety, lots of sweet juicy peas and not too tall. Would recommend to anyone.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds March to June. Sow March to June every 10 days for succession. Sow seeds 5cm (2in) deep in flat-bottomed drills spacing about 2.5-5cm (1-2in) apart, and in rows 75cm (30in) apart.

Growing Instructions

When plants are 10cm (4in), tall provide twiggy sticks for support. Height 75cm (30in).

Aftercare

The peas will be ready to harvest around 12-13 weeks from sowing date, and regular picking will encourage further cropping. Plants are self supporting when sown in blocks. Prefers well drained, moist, rich conditions.
