The hypertrendril variety I have grown were quite visible even at seedling stage. You should soon know. Hope you find the photo or can take one from the seed you just sowed. The hyper-tendril trait is already very noticeable on seeds that were planted less than a month ago.  |

They are back in stock at 'de nieuwe tuin', my seeds just arrived (together with 'sugar magnolia').
Anyone who has experience with using them?
Any recommendations? I see that it's used used as a leaf vegetable too?

As. I was collecting mostly dried pods from Sugar Magnolia i noticed one plant was a parsley-leaf type. The recessive gene must have recombined again after all this time. I saved the seed along with the others.

Yes, tender "pea-tips" are good in salads, as well as cooking.

I found the "tendril" tips of Purple Podded Parsley Pea surprisingly sweet when young. This is a variety worth exploring, although as others have mentioned it seems variable with respect to pod coloration. (The leaf phenotype relies on stacked recessive alleles, so will be a good indication of the rate of natural outcrossing between rows in my garden.) The plants are very pretty in appearance as well, but they do tend to flop around (since they can't cling to a support). I ran into issues late in the season when a heavy rain collapsed the plants, breaking a lot of stems, so I will be trying a "California weave"-type support (tucking the stems between doubled strings) next season. They are relatively short plants so a few courses should do a good job.  |

Anyone try Calvin Lamborn's latest parsley-pea types? Apparently he calls them "snap-greens". A catchy name i suppose. It looks like you can order his peas from his website, but i get the feeling those are large quantities for large growers. Any of you large growers willing to get some and send me a few seeds next year? I know raymondo has imported seeds to Australia. Since this is a commercial seller of seeds i would think it would pass through customs easier. And we know that it is easier to send seed to the U.S. from Australia than the other way around (although apparently some do make it through). Also i'd be interested in getting some seeds for the purple pod parsley i suppose since it has been given good reviews. The only one i have now is some saved seed of a sugar magnolia that had these (but that is a tall pea and ideally this trait is only suited for dwarf or extra dwarf peas. Is this a variety still sold by peace seeds? www.eatmorepeas.com/product/MSP-220.htmlwww.eatmorepeas.com/product/MSP-151M.htmlwww.facebook.com/eatmorepeas/ |

Unfortunately keen101 (Biolumo / Andrew B.), pea seed can only be imported into Australia under very restrictive and expensive conditions - for seed grown in either Washington or Idaho a phytosanitary certificate issued by Washington State University stating that the seeds are free of mosaic virus must be provided; for seed grown anywhere else in the US it's even more difficult. |
