Harvest

Harvest
  • British-bred variety
  • Disease resistant for unblemished harvests
  • Improves nutrient levels in the soil

This British-bred mangetout variety is so attractive with its bicoloured flowers and purple pods, sweet enough to eat raw. The colour fades when steamed but the peas keep more of their colour when quickly stir-fried.

Resistant to powdery mildew and tolerant to downy mildew Shiraz gives you peace of mind that you will be rewarded with big harvests of peas that are blemish-free.

Add to your vegetable plot not only to give you big crops but a welcome splash of colour from the flowers and peas. Shiraz is the variety seen in the top-end ranges in the supermarkets - now its available for you to grow from seed.

Mangetout Shiraz will naturally improve the nutrient levels too in your soil with their roots that fix nitrogen from the air into a form of nitrogen the plants can take up themselves.

How To Grow

Peas are one of the easiest and most rewarding crops to grow, offering sweet, fresh harvests straight from the pod. From mangetout and sugarsnaps to traditional shelling peas, sowing from seed gives you the best choice of varieties and a season-long supply.


Outdoor Sowing
Sow directly into well-drained soil from early spring, placing seeds 5cm deep and spacing 7–8cm apart. Keep rows 60cm apart and provide support such as pea sticks, netting or trellis for climbing varieties. Water regularly, especially during flowering, to support healthy pod formation.


Feeding
Start feeding when flowers appear. Apply a high-potash liquid feed every two weeks until the end of harvest, or use a granular fertiliser monthly, watered in well at the base of plants. This boosts flower and pod development for heavier crops.


Harvesting
Pick peas from the bottom upwards, ideally in the morning when sugar levels are at their highest. Regular picking encourages plants to keep producing.


Companion Planting
Peas enrich soil with nitrogen and pair well with carrots, radishes, lettuce, spinach, beans, cucumbers and brassicas. Marigolds and nasturtiums also make excellent companions, helping deter pests naturally.
