Latvian peas

National latvian meal – boiled grey peas…

Today I received my Heritage Seed Library membership card.

Unfortunately, it turns out I became a member a fortnight too late – orders for the six seed packets have to be sent during February, so I can’t order mine till next year. 🙁

However, they sent me a complimentary packet of Latvian peas that I can try to grow this year.

It seems to be totally standard Latvian peas, but that’s of course something of a rarity in this country.
