About King Tut
68 days. Chubby dark purple pods enclosing bright green peas follow pink and purple bicolor flowers. These shelling peas are tasty green or dried. Legend says that this seed was found in King Tut’s tomb and taken to England where it miraculously germinated. Others say the pea originated in England, perhaps on the estate of Lord Carnarvon who financed the search for King Tut’s tomb. A vigorous climber that needs strong support.
About Peas
While we only eat the peas of shelling varieties, the rounded pods of mature snap peas and the flat pods of snow peas are eaten whole. Plant once in April and again in August for two harvests. Climbs by leaf tendrils. Need a trellis for support.
