| Good tasting pea. Our crop was compromised by rabbit. What we could salvage was very good. |

| Seeds were slow to germinate and slow to produce. The peas had good flavor but could hsve been sweeter and the yeild was small. |

| Germination spotty, however what did grew well. Pods were large, crunchy, sweet, good yield in short amount of time. Small plants tangled easily so would probably recommend trellising anyway. |

| This variety geminated quickly and was very easy to grow - no trellis needed. We had a high yield and they were tender and sweet. No pests or diseases. |

| Peas had a late start due to very hot temperatures early.\r\nGood yield and tasty when they did get going. |

| Good germination, strong plants about 1\' tall, peas are tasty. Hard to pick peas since plants tangle together without trellis. Yield is low since plants are short. Might be better for a container garden. Rather use the space in garden for taller plants on a trellis which would yield more peas. |

| This pea was very tasty, almost as good as Sugar Snap. Unlike Sugar Snap, the pods didn\'t need stringing, which was a real time saver. They didn\'t have a very long harvest period, either. They also came in a lot sooner than Sugar Snap. |

| This has been a reliable short-season variety for us. Had a nice spring crop and we are well on our way to some tasty fall peas as well - in bloom now, and our weather here up north is cooling down. Although the instructions say that it is unnecessary, we put a string about 6 inches above the ground to give them something to lean on. Otherwise the pea pods get lost in the muddle. They require a little fiddling to keep them upright, but nor more than staked tomatoes. Amazingly fast and decently productive. |

| I agree this is a surprisingly short plant that didn't want to cling to the nylon trellis. It is very productive, though and the pods are very tasty. It tolerated the early heat well and still produced. Good variety. |

| These are tasty, but more fiddly than I anticipated. The first time I planted them, I planted them next to a fence and those that didn't climb the fence pulled the other plants near them into a pile on the ground. This made it more difficult than it should have been to find and harvest the peas. The second time I grew them, I was careful to manually help them to the fence when they showed signs of moving away, and they behaved better. They produce well for their size, but they're pretty small plants. |
