If it wasnt for Dave I wouldnt have been able to start the Stokesley. He sent me some last year and I forced myself to only eat one pod.  :(
 
There are some legalities involved in selling heritage peas, but not too sure about the details.  HSL can give you more details Im sure.

DD has really fired me up about heritage seeds, and when I get more time, Im really going to look at this seriously.  A season is a long time to find out that you are unhappy with a variety for one reason or another.  At least with heritage you have much more choice even if it is harder work

Another really sweet pea is a petit pois pea called Calibre.  I got mine from Mr. F's a couple of years ago and I've been saving seed since 'cause we love 'em.  My soil is chalky rather than sandy though.

I recommend picking peas young as well.

My early peas were Spring from marshalls and these were the best of my three varieties this year,shame the jackdaws started on them before i did  :mad:
Of the maincrops i usually end up back with Onward and Canoe,good croppers and nice to eat fresh,none of my peas ever makes it to the freezer.
