Mushy peas? Mmmmmm
... yes please!!
Ah yes, nothing like a
bag of chips and some mushy peas on a wet winter night to warm the
cockles of your heart. The Suttons team know all about fish and chips
coming from sunny Devon and they have decided to bring a little bit
of the seaside to your garden!
So if you fancy
growing your own mushy peas … just like the ones from childhood
trips to the chippy. Look no further than Suttons new Pea
‘Maro’. This premier ‘marrowfat’ variety is ideal for making your own
mushy or as some proper old Devonians call them ‘soapy’ peas.
Harvest your peas when the pods are fully dry and mature and the peas
are hard and firm. Peas can also be soaked for stews and casseroles.
These little beauties can also be eaten fresh when the pods are young
- although the peas are less sweet then most garden varieties they do
have a distinctive savoury taste.
Sow from March for
delicious peas from May.
- Makes perfect mushy peas
- Harvest when peas are hard & firm
- Rehydrate for stews & casseroles
Packet of 300 seeds costs £2.79
