Espoire de Gembloux

A rare pea from Belgium, the name translates to mean ‘Hope of Gembloux’.  Gembloux is a town in Belgium with a long agricultural research and seed tradition.  It was released in 1953 by the Centre de Recherche Agronomique de Gembloux  This was a quite low growing pea for me, about 2 feet tall, with incredible yields.  Unfortunately I did not get to sampling any of its pods, so cannot attest to the flavor!  Much thanks to Jan in the UK for sending these peas! 20 seeds/packet.
