Notes
'Mr. Big' pea (Lathyrus oleraceus 'Mr. Big') is an annual for vegetable gardens, containers, and trellises. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It can climb tall, so give it a trellis or other support. Plants bloom in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Lettuce, Radish organic, and Broccoli.
