Overall Taste Yield Ease	Richmond, Georgia, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Very similar to Early Alaska, but a shade more vigorous in the winter. Down here, we have to plant peas in the wintertime to get a crop in before the heat wipes them out. This one does well planted in early December. Flavor is typical of a smooth seeded pea and equal to Early Alaska. The vine only gets 16 to 20 inches in height, but very productive.
