Pea, Shelling ‘Willow’ (Pisum sativum)
Peas are cool season crops and best sown from May (or April in mild coastal regions). Willow is a fabulous new variety of shelling pea. It produces a large number of attractive, long, dark green pods. Willow is resistant to powdery mildew so a late planting is worth a try. Plant seeds 2cm deep in a 10cm wide band approximately 20 seeds per 30cm. It is a medium size plant that grows to 75cm tall and produces a large amount of pods as well as having the advantage of being powdery mildew tolerant.
