GO EARLY WITH PEAS

Early peas are hardy varieties that can be sown in the autumn for May/June harvest or from early spring onwards and then in succession for a spread of harvests (in some cases) to October. Fll are great frozen as well as fresh and all those mentioned here need very little support other than a few twiggy pea sticks or similar.
