Zoe’s grandma Ruth helps her pronounce Przebowska Oliwkowa - the name of a Polish pea. I asked the Truelove Seeds apprentices to consider connecting with ancestral crops this year, and was looking for Polish varieties for Zoe when this packet popped up. William Woys Weaver gave it to me at some point over the last few years as he let go of aging packets from the Roughwood Seed Collection. These seeds are eight years old and the peas are soooooo small (and olive-colored, as the name suggests). We were thrilled to see them sprouting. What can you learn from your grandma today? #Przebowskaoliwkowa #polishfood #polishpea #heirloompeas #ancestralfood
