Description
Maincrop.
In T&M trials this exceptional maincrop pea outperformed other varieties, proving itself more than worthy of its RHS AGM. Bearing two pods per node, Pea ‘Rondo’ produces excellent yields of the highest quality, straight, long pods, containing an average of 10 deliciously plump peas per pod. This wrinkle seeded pea also shows good resistance to Fusarium wilt race 1. An excellent variety for freezing or eating freshly picked. Height: 75cm (30″). Spread: 25cm (10″).
Sowing
Direct sow peas outdoors from March to June, once the soil as warmed. In mild areas, some hardy, early maturing cultivars may be sown in late autumn for overwintering. Choose a weed-free position on moist, fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Sow pea seed in flat bottomed drills at a distance of 5cm (2″) apart, and 4cm (1 1/2″) deep. Allow a distance of 75cm (30″) between rows. For successional crops, sow peas every 10 days.
More Info
Support pea plants with twiggy sticks, wire or netting as they grow, and use fine netting to protect pea crops from birds and pea moth damage. When growing peas, regular and thorough watering especially when in flower will improve crop yields. Harvest peas around 14 weeks after sowing when the pods have swollen. Regular picking will encourage further cropping.
