Description
Mr Fothergill’s Asparagus Pea Seeds, Sweet, crisp ‘asparagus’ flavoured pods. Pick regularly to encourage further pods to form. Top and tail pods then boil or steam.

Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin seedlings to 30cm apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings will extend the harvest season. Provide cloche protection or delay sowing if soil is cold. Pick regularly to encourage further pods to form.
