Mangetout "Green Beauty" x 8 root trainer modules.

I think I included these in the seed swap last year. If I did, I highly recommend trying these. They grow tall (up to 2 metres) with lovely purple flowers and have crunchy pods with a good pea flavour.

Yes I have, many years ago. I remember following the stratification instructions on the packet and being amazed when I actually got good germination. I ended up with a nice big clump of plants that I left behind when I moved house.

So having sown a pot now, they will sit on the windowsill for 3 weeks then go into the fridge for another couple of weeks. I'll report back mid-March Smile

 I sowed mine in pots last autumn. Just left them outside. Hopefully nature has done the stratification for me. I’ll also report back if / when I get germination.
