WHAT ARE BLUE PEAS?

We have been impressed with the #chickpea growth and ripening in our trial plots this season, despite the lack of moisture. Maturity remains the key to this crop and is the area that we’re focusing on in our ongoing work.
All about #chickpeas
Chickpeas have not been commonly grown in the UK in the past, however in recent years with increased interest, varieties are now being tested for suitability to our maritime climate.
