Pea Hurst Greenshaft produces long pods with 8-9 peas per pod that are easy to shell. They are full of sweet, fresh pea flavour & crop heavily over a long period just keep picking to ensure lots more peas.
It is a second early variety that grows to about 1-1.5m tall and so makes a good variety to grow in a large pot/container with support.
Which? Gardening trials (April 2012) showed this variety produced 'high yields' and 'was highly rated for pea flavour.
If you want to extend your pea cropping season then look to sow in 3 stages, for example:
| First Earlies | Second Earlies | Maincrop |
