Pod 'Hendriks' BIO De Bolster (1320)

Pod 'Hendriks' grows for a long time, with a long harvest period. Hendriks is a very reliable and strong variety. The pods in a slightly older stage are a bit sweeter than the very young pods.

Fresh pods, peas and capucins are the flavours of the vegetable garden. There are hardly any problems with diseases and pests and that makes it all the more attractive to grow these crops yourself. It is sufficient to grow them with little manure. Two main groups can be distinguished: short with a length of up to approx. 70 cm (trunk) and long types (rice types).

The rice types must in any case be grown along gauze. When grown along gauze, a row can be sown on both sides of the gauze. A usual row distance for stem types is 50 cm, sow in the row at 3 to 5 cm. In connection with mice and birds sow sufficiently deep (3 to 4 cm).

For all capuchins, peas and pods an early sowing (March/April) gives the best results; sowing in May and later gives insufficient pods and problems with mildew.
