Time out of mind.
« on: April 15, 2008, 14:21 »
I visited Knightshayes court yesterday and from their fab kitchen garden bought some heritage veg.
'Time out of mind' peas and 'Martock' and 'Bill's crimson' broad beans. Has any one grown any of these before or know where i can get some more info on them?

Thanks

Thanks. I looked at that. Unfortunately I can't afford to join at the moment, and couldn't seem to access any info unless i did.

Can't help with the beans. As for the pea, the HSL catalogue says that it originates from a Cambridgeshire estate c. early 1920's where it had been grown since "time out of mind." White flowers followed by large pods ... sweet .. can reach 2 to 2.5m in height and needs strong supports.
