An excellent choice for those who prefer large peas.
A reliable variety in the early segment of green peas, maturing two days later than "Avola", it consistently shows good productivity and high yield potential.
An early variety recommended for mechanical harvesting and deep freezing. The seeds are a dark green colour.
The length of the pod is 7 cm and there are 7 to 8 seeds in a pod (9-11 mm in diameter).
The recommended sowing rate is 200 kg per ha. The time from sowing to harvest is approximately 63-67 days.
* Heigh of plant = 50-70 cm.
* Number of seeds in 1 g = 3-5.
* Recommended density of plants on ha = 850000.
"Talbot" is a very flexible and stress-resistant variety with good productivity. Suitable for various growing conditions.
Agrotechnics: the best soils for vegetable peas are non-acidic, moisture-intensive and breathable.
In a crop rotation, peas are best placed after well-fertilized crops: cucumber, tomato, pumpkin and early potatoes.
Peas should be sown at the end of April, when there is still a lot of moisture in the soil.
Seeds are sown to a depth of 2-3 cm in rows, the distance between which should be 20-30 cm. The seeding rate is 15-20 g per 1 m2 (up to 100 pieces per 1 m2).
The sown seeds must be well pressed to the soil so that they are in close contact with it. After germination, care consists in loosening row spacing, watering and top dressing.
When the plants reach a height of 15-20 cm, they are tied up. Harvest as it ripens.
* Is it possible to dry green peas at home?
Indeed, such a method of processing vegetable peas exists. You can still dry peas at home, but it is difficult and you need to strictly follow the technology.
First, green peas are placed in a mesh container or a deep colander and blanched in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then cooled, rinsed in cold water and lowered into boiling water again for 1-2 minutes.
After the second blanching, the peas are scattered in a dark place on a cloth or paper in a thin layer for wilting and drying.
The dried peas are poured in a 2-3 cm layer on a sieve and placed in an oven to dry at a temperature of +60+70 °C. At a lower temperature, the peas become moldy, and at a higher temperature, the seeds swell and burst. Drying continues for 12-14 hours. Then the peas are taken out and cooled in a dark place, but after 8-10 hours they are put back in the oven or stove.
To prevent voids from forming in the peas, and also to give them a flat shape, a small weight is placed - 0.4-0.8 kg.
Well-dried green peas usually have a velvety surface, the peas are matte, dark green.
If the peas are very light, this means that they are undercooked, so you need to increase the blanching time.
If a dark spot is visible in the middle of the pea, this means that the peas are overcooked. From 4 kg of fresh peas, only 1 kg of dried peas are obtained.
It is best to store dried peas in thick paper bags; there are no storage period restrictions. Before eating, it should be poured with boiling water in a ratio of 1:3-4. After swelling, the peas become soft and sweet, almost like fresh ones. In such a swollen state, the same dishes are prepared from them as from fresh green peas.
