Plant growth and coverage
- Vigorous climbing vine; trellis or netting strongly recommended for best yield
- Height: up to 2 m (6 ft) with support; about 1 m (3 ft) without
- Spread: 20–30 cm (8–12 in)
- Spacing: sow 5–8 cm (2–3 in) apart in-row; rows 60–90 cm (24–36 in) apart
- Harvest when pods are swollen but still tender; frequent picking maintains sweetness and productivity
Choosing a packet size
- 50 Grams is ideal for home gardeners trialing Mr. Big or filling a short trellis run and a few meals’ worth of fresh peas.
- 125 Grams suits small to medium gardens, staggered sowings, and fresh eating with some extra for the freezer.
- 250 Grams is a solid choice for larger family gardens aiming for steady harvests and regular freezing.
- 500 Grams works for big beds, community gardens, or long trellis rows targeting abundant, continuous picking.
- 2 Kg is best for small farms or market growers establishing multiple successions or sizable blocks.
- 4 Kg fits large-scale plantings, CSAs, or commercial growers seeking extensive row coverage and high yields.
