Also known as 'poor man's peas' Common Vetch (Vicia sativa) is the one edible vetch which can be found in the landscape. Harvested peas should be washed and cooked as they have mildly toxic properties when raw, and harvested young as toxins build up as the peas become older. Common Vetch is able to make its own nitrates which enables it to be used as a soil-fertiliser too. Its pink flowers appear between May and September. Taken by David Palmar.
