A Seed Saver's Garden

[Decoy1]

So many lovely new peas for this year, thanks to some absolutely thrilling seed trades!

I used to be a crazy tomato grower but I honestly think beans have bumped them out of the #1 spot, and so have peas! I am really enjoying exploring the world of rare peas as well. Rare, for my area that is. It's all relative I suppose! Anyway, I will post a full list of all the neat new ones in the 2025 lineup, but here is a picture of a few packets I took today that were readily available.

Very exciting! These are varieties I’ve not come across in England except perhaps Verdone.
What does Markerbse indicate, I wonder? Google translates it unhelpfully as ‘marker pea’

I wish I could figure that out too! There are a number of categories of peas on Deaflora with mysterious titles, maybe related to the time of the season they're grown in? Like the 'winter' peas?
