| I have to change my ratings for this variety. I think I was influenced by the hype - and inability to get seeds for this variety. Here it's small, not very productive, and does very poorly with any heat. It's also only marginally earlier than other peas in it's class. I think here the weather makes it grow more slowly. This is from 3 years growing it. I won't again. Perhaps this is a great pea in other areas, but not here where we have 40 degree diurnal temperature fluctuations. |

| These did very well for me in central NY, despite a warmer than usual June and July. Planted mid-April, they produced lots of tender pods from early June through mid-July. Perfect size vines for pea brush staking (3-4 ft). No disease or insect problems. |
