I got some asparagus pea seeds from the the Organic Gardening catalogue (though they weren't organic). Pretty red flowers and small, winged pods that are picked before they are more than 3 cm long.
Only half my row came up, but they survived the slugs, and I picked a handful today. Had them with onions, courgettes (from the garden), runner beans (first picking from the garden) and pasta as a chunky soup. Not impressed, don't think I'll bother again. Also used a stock cube, but rather salty.
Had it with sour dough bread from the new Organic Lea stall off the Leytonstone High Road. I am pleased that sour dough is getting easier to find.
