Some Swedish red pea's have been saved and are destined for our seed swap in February!
This was grown from a small packet of seed in a 2x3ft space, the first pods were enjoyed on the plate, and the rest saved to multiply the seed for next year's growing season.
Swedish red pea also known as biskopens or bishops grey, can be eaten young and tender or saved for a dried soup pea. And of course, an heirloom to grow again and again.

What seeds are you saving this year?

Delivered SEA SOIL and a cheque to Parksville Museum on Saturday, got a tour of the yard and what they have been up to. This beautiful pollinator hotel is quite the addition. Can't wait to visit again in the summer and see all the activity.

If you would like to volunteer and have the pleasure of tending the gardens here, visit their website: https://parksvillemuseum.com/ or contact Pam [email protected]
