For scrummy sweet tasting shoots and tendrils: Serge produces tendrils vigorously, it is a top choice for pea shoots to add to your salads. After trimming they will resprout so even more delicious shoots will grow! We suggest sowing a pot every week so that you can rotate your containers for trimming regularly – treat them like any other cut-&-come-again. You can also grow these on as a vining pea for pods which you can pick young as a mangetout or shell for sweet flavoured mature peas…but that would deprive you of the pea shoots. So many options, so much deliciousness!
How to grow pea shoots
Simply find a container 5-7cm deep, fill with seed compost and sow the seeds 1.5cm deep with only a small gap between seeds.
Now place the container on a windowsill (or in a coldframe) and keep moist.
The pea shoots will be ready to harvest 3-4 weeks after sowing, when 7-10cm tall. Snip off and add to your salads or pop in a stir fry.
