This is a new variety for Mudville and I was really quite surprised to see that the newly emerging seedlings look nothing like the peas/mangetout that we usually grow. It’s quite exciting to have a new vegetable to watch and monitor, especially for Middle Mudlet as this was one of her choices.

The development of this plant continues to surprise me with its’ first true leaves looking absolutely nothing like a traditional pea. I’ve also noticed that these plants tend to close up on themselves on a night time.
