Description
An extremely old vegetable (dating back to the 1590's or earlier) that is now seeing a resurgence in popularity - and deservedly so. This is a real gourmet delight, having a flavour that can be best described as a cross between the freshest of garden peas and asparagus.
Pods are best picked small, when they are around 1-2" (2.5 - 5 cm) in length, to avoid toughness. Many gardeners believe it is better and easier to pick the pods in the evening.
- For early crops sow under protection from March-April in small pots and plant out 9-12" (23-30 cm) apart in rows 18" (45 cm) apart when hardened off.
- For later crops and successional sowings sow April-June in drills 1" (2.5 cm) deep, 2 seeds per station 9-12" (23-30 cm) apart in rows 18" (45 cm)apart.
- Whilst not essential, providing a little support for the plants will prove beneficial.
