The rare Avi Joan pea originates in Catalonia in Northeastern Spain. It appears to have been developed or at least maintained there by Jesus Vargas. According to stories from seed saving networks, the variety was bred by a man’s grandfather and named after his grandmother Avi Joan or perhaps Avi Juan. For many years, Avi Joan was extremely rare — for a long time known only from a single gardener in Catalonia. Well-known UK seed saver Adam Alexander (aka The Seed Detective) encountered the variety through a seed exchange and noted that until he met its grower, it was possibly grown by only one person. Since being shared among seed-saving networks and organizations such as the UK Heritage Seed Library, it’s now being grown by more gardeners. ‘Avi Joan’ was an amazing producer of delicious peas in my garden, with huge yields. Grows 6 feet+. 20 seeds/packet.
