Crown Pea

Price: $3.50

An extremely rare type of pea, formerly considered a separate subspecies from the common pea. Stocky, bushy plants produce a large cluster of beautiful pink and white flowers (hence crown pea), followed by short pods filled with tasty peas. It almost looks like a cross between a pea and a sweet pea. Very ornamental. 30-50 seeds (12 g)

Gravedigger Pea

A very rare English heirloom. Vigourous waist high vines bearing flavourful medium size shelling pods. We know only a fragment of it’s history; it was saved for many years by one Mr. Thomson, to whom the seeds were passed by a local grave digger. 30-40 seeds (12 g)

Duke of Albany Pea

Price: $3.50

Rare English heirloom from the 1800s. Once a common variety, it long ago fell out of commercial seed trade. I was given a few seeds to grow back in 2009, and the Duke quickly became a farm favourite. It's tall vines are covered in sweet, plump shelling pods. This is a pea that deserves to be better known! 30-40 seeds (12 g)

I grew Sapporo Express for years thinking it was purely a shelling pea. Until one summer I realized the pods are crispy and delicious, even when quite developed. Makes a great shelling pea, and an equally good snow pea. 4’ vines. Very rare. Approx. 30-40 seeds (12 g)
