  • Recommend me some TALL varieties of Mange Tout ?

    Can anyone recommend some TALL varieties of Mange Tout ?

    I grew tall peas this year (heritage types: Telephone, Champion of England) and really found their height attractive.

    I have never tried growing mange tout varieties (although Telephone has proved rather nice when picked early, its been an excellent plant all round).

    I am most interested in heritage varieties or unusual traits as I am growing for fun rather than massive crops - but as long as they are tall I am very open minded.

    Thanks for any ideas.

    I always grow Bijou and Golden Sweet Peas and Mange-Tout Peas vegetable seed from The Real Seed Catalogue

        Bijou really is huge and Golden Sweet are yellow and show up well amongst the foliage.

          Interesting thread link, ta.

          May I ask what the purple ones are?

          I think it is indeed safe to call those green ones LARGE !

                      Another vote for a Golden Sweet, they're great

                      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
