This pea variety was carefully preserved by Will Bonzai, in the United States. Few other varieties from the colonial era still exist today, although French colonizers did develop hundreds of pea varieties in their gardens which were well adapted to the North-East American climate. This is were the nickname 'Pea Soup', given by the English to the French, originated.
This variety is a landrace, meaning its peas are of different colors. They look like small pebbles coming straight out of a river, marbled and spotted. We genuinely think those are the most beautiful peas there is. They are ideal to make jewelry. Also adorable as legume in a salad.
Using a net or tutors can help with harvest. High-yielding.
Package: 30 seeds. RARE, PLEASE SHARE.

Chickpeas are easy to grow and adapt well to a broad range of soils and climates. Widely grown around the Mediterranean, chickpeas do prefer the heat. Nonetheless they can withstand cooler temperatures and even frosts when it is still small (4-5 leaves).
Chickpea roots harbour nitrogen-fixing bacteria that enrich the soil (90kg/ha). After harvesting, do not uproot the plants. Instead, leave the roots in the ground so that they, and the bacteria, decompose.

This bush variety is very productive and, even more notably, gives very early yields. A regular harvest as soon as the beans are ready will stimulate further yields. This bean can be eaten as a green bean, and as a dry bean. The mature beans are creamy white with beautiful pink spots.
We have found numerous mentions of this bean in documents dating from the early 19th Century, but its popularity seems to have declined in the 20th Century.
