Our Feedback
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

Looking more like eggs than most eggplant fruits (due to their all white colour - not their shape!) this early-maturing variety produces a heavy crop of firm-textured fruits with an excellent flavour.
The fruits are usually large - up to 7" (17 cm) long - and of a uniform cylinder shape. A very versatile vegetable that is hugely popular in Asian and Mediterranean cooking.
Eggplants, as they are commonly known, will produce the heaviest crop if grown under protection - but a sunny spot outside, sheltered from cold winds, will also produce a very worthwhile crop.
- Sow under protection two seeds per small pot March-April.
- Germinate at a temperature of 64-77F (18-25C)
- Transplant and grow on in larger pots when large enough to handle.
- For greenhouse or polytunnel growing plant out into larger pots, growbags or the ground when more established and provide a sturdy support.
- For outdoor growing transplant into a sunny sheltered spotafter the risk of frost has passed; plant out 36" (90 cm) apart in rows 36" (90 cm) apart and provide a sturdy support.
