| I purchased these and presprouted them in February last year (after 2 failed attempts direct sowing Sugar Daddy). I grew them in a 20 gallon fabric bag and also in our raised bed garden. They all germinated and we had a great harvest of really sweet peas, but had to pull them out of our raised bed before they were completely done so we could plant cucumbers. Growing in Fall this year. |

| Hard to go wrong with this one, a real winner here. Easy to grow, great taste and produces well. the thing to be aware of is this is a tall vine, generally 6 feet, so it needs a substantial trellis. The good part is you do not have to stoop to harvest. If you can get it to germinate in warm weather, it makes a good fall crop too as the frost really alters the sweet flavor substantially. It is not as easy to get going in hot weather as Mammoth melting but with a shorter maturity it may be a better option. Growing fall peas is a crap shoot here as we are often in the 90-100 range degree range at sowing time. |

| This pea variety has never germinated well for me, and those plants that do emerge grow sluggishly. Consequently, the harvest is poor, but the taste is tops. |

| These started maturing at about 60 days, despite having to grow in partial shade for the first three weeks of their life. The pods and peas are crisp and sweet. The vines are very vigorous and healthy. I had very little if any problem with disease or insects. The strings were a little difficult to remove, but not horribly so. |
