Mange-Tout Record
£1.95Mange tout peas are wonderful to grow, tasting a world apart from shop bought alternatives typically coming from Kenya.
I prefer growing mange tout to conventional 'shelling' peas simply because you have more to eat. Record is particularly productive because it's a climbing variety that will grow to a height of 6ft. Start picking peas at the bottom of the plant and gradually work your way up as the higher ones mature. It also takes up little in the way of ground space.
That said, you will need to construct a frame for the plants to clamber up. If you don't fancy doing this, choose sugar dwarf sweet green mange tout that need no support.
