Growing Information

Growing Mr. Big Shelling Pea

‘Mr. Big’ is an award-winning open-pollinated shell pea prized for its enormous pods, sweet succulent peas, and excellent garden performance. Robust vines often produce two oversized pods per node, making the crop easy to spot, harvest, and shell.

Sow ‘Mr. Big’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade and provide support for the vines. This cold-tolerant variety is also noted for superb disease resistance.

Ready to harvest in about 60 days, pick the large pods once they are plump and well filled while the peas remain tender and sweet.

Large, sweet, and productive, ‘Mr. Big’ is excellent for fresh eating, shelling, canning, and everyday cooking.

Love Mr Big

Over the years I've grown many different varieties. Mr. Big is one of the most outstanding of them all. Great production and ease of shelling, sweet taste.

Great choice

I just harvested my peas. They are just as described, giant pods that you cannot miss and full of peas. This is all after a drought in June. One packet made two 12 ft. rows that produced two 4 gallon buckets of pods. I will grow these again.

Survived the heatwave

Last spring was the first time I tried the Mr. Big peas. When we hit 109 degrees in Spokane at the end of June, I thought my peas were done for. But I watered twice a day throughout the heatwave and Mr. Big came through! They continued to produce for many weeks. Great flavor too.
