Thought I only liked edible podded peas. These are great. Sweet and uniform. These need no trellis. A very old cultivar.

A reliable producer of fine pods. Short vines trellised easily. Sown for early summer and fall harvest. With rotation, I always use innoculant to enhance nitrogen fixing.

Essex, New York, United States
Frost Free Season: 103 - 123 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: Less than 6 hours per day

We have grown this variety for years - in the Adirondacks and in southwestern CT - and almost always with success. In Essex County, spring is slow to come; and the years we haven't had an "even" harvest (i.e., some plants do well, some don't) it's because we planted (from seed) too late. Even if it's cold and wet, get out and plant them!
