A productive soup pea from the Clydach valley in Wales. Real Seeds haven't been able to trace much of its history, but have been impressed with its performance, particularly the extremely difficult summer of 2012. This variety has smooth greeny-grey seeds, that make a traditional UK style pea soup or tasty mushy peas. Allow for growth to 6 foot plus, so make frames for them as you would runner beans or climbing french beans. Can be overwintered in a polytunnel for early crops and eaten podded, as mangetout or dried.
