Heritage Vegetable Review - Salmon Flowered Pea

Salmon Flowered Pea
The bag of peas was part of a batch that were ex HSL as the germination rate wasn't enough to give to members. So I nabbed a bag.

First flowers out yesterday so I grabbed a photo this morning. Lovely looking flower.



Just wanted to capture the stem and the pinkiness where the leaf axils are. [June 2011]

Heritage Vegetable Review - Sweet Lupino Bean

Sweet Lupino Bean


These seeds were bought from ebay and to be honest they have been a bit hard to germinate. I got one however, which is very satisfying. Half the remaining seeds are currently in the airing cupboard in damp compost and vermiculite to try and encourage them to sprout.

I love the leaf of these. The new leaves seem to be quite yellow so I am repotting this one at the weekend. I really need to make sure this survives to get some beans from it. [June 2011]
