Lightly steamed or boiled, mangetout peas can turn a meal into a feast, but they are just as easy to grow as any other peas.
A welcome addition to summer salads when cooked and served still warm.

Pea Delikata (Mangetout) Seeds growing partners...
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 120cm (4ft).
Aftercare
Keep well watered, especially in dry spells.
