Pisum sativum var. medullare
Marker pea
Common names: Runzel pea, Green pea, Paler pea
Category imageThis description was machine-translated.
Description
The Marker pea yields the classic sweet, green table peas—its seeds are ripe and dried, wrinkled because they store especially much sugar instead of starch. You eat only the seeds and discard the pod. Fresh from the plant it outshines every frozen pea.
Care instructions
Sow the seeds from March to May about 4 cm deep in shallow furrows and set up a trellis or netting early. Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and pod filling. Harvest when the pods are plump yet still juicy green; overripe peas become mealy.
