| I have been growing this variety for over 5 years now. It has been a reliable producer every year and the peas taste sweet even when the pods get big. I have found the pods to not be fibrous even at the larger sizes. These peas do require stringing, but I view that as a small price to pay for such tasty vegetables. Although the packet says the vines don't need support, I still put some small tree branches in amongst the plants to make picking and cultivating easier. The seeds have been getting harder and harder to find, so this year I will save seeds as this variety is open-pollinated. |

| A relatively short vined snap pea that performed no better than Sugar Ann. Hulls became fibrous rather quickly. |
