Description

One of our all time favourites. Small winged pods should be harvested when about 3-4cm long, superb flavour akin to Asparagus.Will crop all summer long if picked regularly. Brilliant scarlet flowers. Needs no staking but pods camouflage well in the foliage so search well. Sow in drills 2cm deep in May in the growing site with 35cm between rows. Can be started earlier under cloches.To cook, just top and tail the pods, steam or lightly boil and serve with a knob of butter - delicious!
