Growing Asparagus Pea
The asparagus pea is an unusual vegetable which is easy to grow.
The asparagus pea has:
- pods which are eaten whole & taste of asparagus
- beautiful red flowers
The asparagus pea seeds were sown
- 2cm deep
- placed in a propagator
- on 5 April
- germination usually takes 7-14 days at 19-21C, so we are waiting!
TopVeg has not grown the asparagus pea before and is our entry for the Growing Challenge.
