Seed savers has a programme of regeneration or rare varieties, and to those who wish to take on the job of sowing growing, observing the performances and saving the seed of any of these varieties,they send them out to local seed networks. I have requested several vareieties from them with the aim of putting out the challenge to our group with growing them on saving some and coming up with the best suited peas to our local climate.
It may be their growth,quantity, pest resistance, pod size, sweetness, or suitability for feezing, we want a good variety and the best atributes recorded and shared.
Some of these peas are from Seed Saver's 'posterity collection' mad from about every sample sent to them, others are quote old and may not germinate. Peas dont generally cross with one another so you can grow as many as you like. just let me know which ones your'e interested in and ill send them on.
Do as suggested and observe the performance, how many you sowed, and save some seeds to bring back to our bank for sharing and comparisons.
