Asparagus Pea - slow grower?

[mark_h]

Hi all,
       I thought I'd give Asparagus Pea a go down the lottie this year.    As the title says, they seem to grow rather slowly so are they typically a slow grower?

Thanks, Mark

I found them slow at first (and germination was not uniform). They do bush out eventually - don't forget to pick the pods when small (no longer than 1 1/2 ins 3-4 cms) or they become woody and inedible.

They grow slowly to allow you to dig them up before it`s too late. Nasty woody little things.

Once grown-seldom twice-pretty flowers though

Couldn't have put it better myself  ;D

Sorry but one of the few veggies I wouldn't grow again, anything over an inch or so gets awful very fast. XX Jeannine
