This variety of pea is grown for its delicious and tender pea shoots. Harvest the young shoots and leaves at the top of the plants. Pick shoots regularly will help to develop more young shoots for long time. Young shoots can be used in stir-frying and soup as green. Very delicious. Well swelled pods can be harvested for the green peas. Plant grows fast, about 25 days from sowing to first pick. Good resistance to cold and disease, very productive.
Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring/summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Can be sown by broadcasting and thinned during growth. Keep soil moist. Do not use nitrogen fertilizer as it will accumulate excess nitrates. The leaves and stems are best when harvested young. Use in stir-fries, soups and fresh in salads. Prepare like spinach.
