Organic Pea - Robinson

£3.00

Pisum sativum ~ 40 seeds. 

 

This is the tastiest pea we have ever grown, it's a podding pea that grows >2m tall and produces lots of long green pods with around 10 peas per pod.  According to the Heritage Seed Library these peas originated from Scotland. 

"This is a very fine pea and, in my opinion, the best tasting of all the British bred peas. Crops well over a long season if picked regularly. Expect heavy crops of long pods with medium-sized sweet and yummy peas inside!" - Adam Alexander, The Seed Detective. Possible synonym:  Show Perfection

Growing Info

Pea plants will need support or something to climb up.  We sow our peas into modules in March for transplanting outside in mid/late April.  At this time the young plants may need some shelter from the wind in exposed spots.  Alternatively direct sow into the soil in April/May.  June is a good month for making sowings for late summer and autumn harvests.

Tips: Try hanging old CD's on a string from the pea supports to keep the birds off, most genres tested seem to be effective.

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.
