Mangetout (climbing) Grijze Roodbloeiende has beautiful red flowers. The legumes are somewhat sweeter in a more mature stadium (when the seeds are just visible). This is a very productive variety, although picking is slightly more difficult, because the high amount of leaves.
Mangetout types have to be cultivated along a wire netting fence in any case. In this process, it is possible to sow a series on both sides of the net. It is also important to sow sufficiently deep (3-4 cm) in order to prevent mice and birds from eating the seeds. There are little problems with diseases and plagues, which makes it much more attractive to cultivate this crop yourself.
