I have just tried growing your Victorian colossal pea, with fantastic results.
We have a small garden and my wife found these thinking we would get more for the same space as the 'normal' peas. Problem is they are so heavily laden with pods they are tearing from the support frame and I have had to tie them up with soft string. A problem that is very welcome. I have just sown more in the greenhouse to plant out for a later crop. I have also tried your coloured carrots but too soon to try, but I will be ordering more seeds and greater variety in the future.
Best wishes

Apple Crumble Recipe
(serves 6)
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) self-raising flour.
- 4 oz (115g) butter.
- 4 oz (115g) caster sugar (plus some extra to sweeten the apples)
- 4-6 cooking apples – peeled and sliced
- (optional: handful of raisins)
Method
- Put the apples into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with sugar. Cook in a little water until just soft (this can be done in a microwave - usually takes 3 or 4 minutes).
- Put flour, butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon, then use your hands until the mixture resembles bread crumbs; at this point you can, if you wish, add the raisins.
- Sprinkle the crumble mix onto the apples and cook in a moderate oven for approximately 35 minutes. When you remove the crumble from the oven you can sprinkle with a little more sugar for that extra sweetness if you wish!
- Serve with cream, ice cream or custard.
You can of course use other fruit, or mix with fruits such as blackberries for apple and blackberry crumble!
