Pea Mr. Big

2000 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Mr. Big is a superior English or garden pea. There are several significant improvements including consistently large pea pods. The larger pods are easier to shell. The fresh sweet peas are delicious, no need for butter. Mr. Big produces a high yield because the plants are early, frequently setting two pods per node and the disease resistances lengthen the plant life. Mr. Big is an indeterminate vine reaching 2-3 feet in the garden. Plants need vertical support. Harvest mature pea pods in about 58 to 62 days.
