Posted by TopVeg - July 20th, 2008

The asparagus peas have come to harvest in week 14.

The pods are difficult to see, so harvesting is slow. The pods have frilly edges and should be picked when they are about an inch long.

The bumble bees are busy feeding on the bright, brick-red flowers.

The asparagus peas were sown on 10th April. TopVeg has not grown the asparagus pea before and is our entry for the Growing Challenge.

It has taken 14 weeks for the asparagus peas to start producing a decent number of pods.
