Cautious


By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.

P

Carruthers' Purple Podded Pea to be precise.


Described as "Tall and vigorous", Carruthers' Purple Podded Pea grows to about 6ft. It is early flowering, although the flowers themselves are unscented.

The yields are generous and the plants produce a great many pods. The peas inside are olive green, large and very tightly packed, usually eight to a pod. They square off and become chunky as they are forced against each other in the pod. A bit like those square Japanese melons.

It is however more susceptible than most varieties to the pea moth.
