Yesterday afternoon an elderly gentleman appeared at our house to gift me some heritage Dutch pea seeds his family has grown in the area for many, many years. He told me they are quite special. I have planted some, saved some, and am sending some to the Heritage Food Crops Research Trust for their collection. Wow!
