Pisum sativum
SNOWPEA-MAMMOTH MELTING has extra large, delectably sweet & tender pods with delicate, mouthwatering crunch. These 1.5-1.8 metre tall vines require trellising for support & bear over a long period of time. Large white flowers are an extra bonus, adding a splash of brightness to your edible landscape. Long harvest window, 10-15cm pods. They remain stringless & sweet longer than others. Resistance against Fusarium Wilt.
Sow thinly in trench rows 5cm deep, fill the trench and gently firm down. Pea seeds DO NOT like heavy soil.

More About Us
ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
