Giant Climbing Pea Seeds | 10+ seeds | Heirloom | Aldrerman | Excellent Flavour

Please find for sale 10+ Giant Climbing Pea Seeds. The variety is Alderman, a British heirloom variety. This pea used to be extremely popular but commerical growers sought smaller more compact plants that are easier to pick. This was was  at the expense of flavour - luckily this brilliant variety in now becoming popular again with British gardeners - deservedly so.

Why grow your own peas?

Unmatched Flavor and Freshness

• Better taste: The natural sugars inside freshly picked peas turn into starch very quickly after harvest. Store-bought or frozen options lose that peak sweetness.
  
• Garden candy: Fresh pods picked straight from the vine are crisp, juicy, and often eaten before they even make it to the kitchen.

Easy and Space-Friendly

• Great for beginners: Peas are simple to grow, resilient, and tolerate cool weather and light frosts well.
• Fits small spaces: Climbing varieties grow vertically on trellises, while dwarf types fit easily into small plots, raised beds, or even patio containers and pots.
• Multiple harvests: Picking pods regularly encourages the plant to produce more flowers and yield continuous harvests through the season.
• Health Benefits
  Nutrient-dense: Homegrown peas are packed with plant-based protein, high fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and heart-healthy phytonutrients.
• Blood sugar support: The fiber content helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels after meals.

When and Where to Plant
Timing: Sow seeds in early spring (February to April) or late summer for an autumn crop, as peas love cool weather.
Sunlight: Pick a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun each day.
Soil: Use loose, rich soil that drains well so the roots do not sit in water.

How to Sow the Seeds
Depth: Poke seeds about 1 inch (2 to 3 cm) deep into the soil.
Spacing: Space seeds about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) apart.
Protection: Start seeds indoors in small trays, egg cartons, or rain gutters if mice or cold weather are a problem outside, then move them to the garden later. 
Support: Build frames to support the plants and tie them in as they grow
