I have been growing Epicure for a few years now, a lovely pea, crops
over quite a time and I have had it up to 7ft.
Does anyone else grow any heratage peas or other Veg?

We used to grow "Time out of Mind", "Ne plus ultra" as well as "Alderman"
and others but with this area becoming more dry/hot each summer we started
to find they stopped cropping and started to die before they grew tall
enough. So we have given up with them and now only plant early short peas
like "Feltham First" and "Early Onward" that will have cropped before the
summer sets in.

I grew trail of tears beans but they were terrible, not surprised the
poor Indians starved if they lived on those. Plus several tomatoes but
again they just weren't worth it. One was "Broad yellow ripple currant"
- I liked the name
