Mr Fothergills Pea Hurst Green Shaft 400 Seeds

Pea - Hurst Green Shaft

This is one of the best traditional strains and a good choice if you intend to exhibit. It is vigorous and reliable with a superb sweet flavour.

Sow outdoors from March to June where they are to crop, in flat drills 15cm wide and 5cm deep, in well-cultivated, fertile soil. Sow in a zig-zag fashion along the drill, allowing 5cm between seeds. Fill the drill with fine soil and firm down gently. Allow 60cm between rows. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 10-18 days. Harvest from May to September.
