Pea Alderman Seeds
Alderman grows to around 150cm (5ft), so it requires support similar to that for runner beans.
The little extra effort is well worth it, when you start picking a bumper crop of really tasty peas.
It is also a variety widely grown by exhibitors because of the quality of its pods.

Sowing Outdoors
Make a flat bottomed drill 15cm wide and water it well. Sow about ten seeds per 30cm, spacing them evenly in a zigzag manner.
Cover with about 2cm of soil, and firm it down with the flat edge of a rake. Allow about 60cm (24in) between rows. As seedlings emerge, the shoots are very attractive to birds, but a few little twigs placed over the row will give some protection.
Support
As the peas start to grow, support them with netting or pea sticks. The plants will reach a height of up to 150cm (5ft).
Aftercare
Keep well watered, especially in dry spells.
