Meteor is a superb dwarf variety of Pea that is ideal for exposed plots and container growing due to its compact habit. Being winter hardy, it will stand frost and produce a crop early in the season, so can be sown in November to mature from late April.

To get the sweetest flavour, peas are best cooked when picked young and cooked within 30 minutes of harvest, before the sugar has turned to starch.
