Plant description
Producing a high yield of sweet and tender pods over a long period, this mangetout can be eaten immediately after picking (either as a treat or in salads), cooked as a side dish, or incorporated into a stir fry. The plants themselves show a good resistance to diseases, and as they are fast-growing, it's possible to start harvesting your crop in as little as 2 months after sowing.
