Variety of peas that have been carefully preserved by Will Bonzai, in the United States. Few varieties of peas survive from colonial times, although French settlers developed hundreds of varieties of peas in their vegetable garden, all accustomed to the climate of eastern Canada and the United States. Hence the common name of the French by the English of "Pea Soup". This variety is a landrace, which means that the peas are of various colors. They look like small pebbles straight out of a river, marbled and speckled. We honestly think these are the prettiest peas. Perfect for making jewelry. Adorable as legumes in a salad. Putting a net or stakes can help with the harvest. Very productive. RARE SHARE Peas don't like to run out of water. RARE SHARE

Regarding the common purslane, to speak of an ancient vegetable is an understatement, purslane was indeed known to the Egyptians 4000 years ago. Then it was, like many plants, "forgotten". It nevertheless returns to the stalls thanks to market gardeners cultivating ancient vegetables. In salads or mesclun, purslane is eaten fresh, and its leaves, in addition to being very tender, offer you a cocktail of omega 3 and antioxidants. Purslane is emollient and laxative if eaten in large quantities. It is also depurative and diuretic. Chewing a few leaves soothes inflamed gums and minor sore throats.
