Off-type Elisabeth:
Assorted, purple flower mangetout, Purple flower mangetout inflated pods. purple flower Shelling type
Elisabeth x Sugar Magnolia F3 seeds:
green mangetout pods, mainly purple semi-purple mangetout pods, More green than purple snap pods, more purple than green snap pods
CEG x Amish Snap:
F2, F3 packets: 1 yellow mangetout, 2 green mangetout, 3 green mangetout, 4 purple fl yellow snap, 5 green mangetout (might only grow 4, which is the promising one)
CEG x Shiraz:
F2s, the 'darker' type, the 'greener' type. It is tempting to grow only the dark purple seeds of both packets in the first instance.
F3s, type 1 which was tall with part red pods and type 2, short plants with part red pods
CEG x Purple Podded F2
'White' Elisabeth:
Redder Elisabeth, cross of Redder Elisabeth and Elisabeth (single seed - temporarily lost - may need to cross again), normal pink looking but originally 'white' Elisabeth.
'Own F2', now F3 - one pod looked to be snap rather than mangetout. These were leftovers from the CEG breeding that were not interesting, but the seed was used up.
Elisabeth x Kent Blue F3:
Mixed types, pink flowering types
This is about 26 different types and some need to be grown as individuals. On top of all other standard varieties. This looks like 40 types of pea this year. Many are only tiny tripods of 3 to 5 plants
