A dependable garden variety, it is valued for its combination of productivity, excellent flavour and reliable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plump peas have a sweet, rich flavour and tender texture when harvested young. They are excellent freshly shelled and lightly cooked, added to soups, stews, risottos and vegetable dishes, or eaten raw in salads while young and sweet. Surplus peas can also be blanched and frozen for later use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnward is a traditional British garden pea that became popular with both home and market gardeners for its generous yields and consistently good-quality pods. Regular picking while the pods are well filled but still tender encourages an extended harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough peas are natural climbers, even shorter varieties benefit from some support. Pea netting, stakes or twiggy branches help keep the plants upright, improve airflow and make the pods easier to find and harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeas are among the world’s oldest cultivated food crops, originating in the Near East and grown since ancient times.
