productive, tasty, easy,

"I have planted this variety 2 years in a row, and though my pods don't usually look picture perfect, they taste delicious, and are the only pea I've tried that seems to thrive in my poor soil, three varieties of shelling peas have failed miserably. Had to plant twice because the chipmunks loved the seed, but my second planting quickly caught up, and they produced until August- we did have a cool summer. The really nice thing about this pea is that even if the seed starts to develop a little more than ideal if you miss a pod, they are still tender enough to eat, and very sweet tasting. They also keep several days in the refrigerator for me."

"I planted my first garden last year. These pea pods were among the most rewarding and no-fuss things that I planted."

Heavy crop and excellent flavor,

"Wouldn't plant any other variety. These are sugar sweet even after being frozen for 6-8 months. When the vines start producing you will need to pick them twice per week. I plant two rows about a foot apart and trelless them on 4' wire fabric fence. Makes picking very easy and keeps the vines healthy. Use the "booster" Burpee sells for peas/beans or buy bean "innoculant" from a farm supply store."

"These plants grow six feet tall in Las Vegas if planted in the fall! I can harvest them 2-3 times before summer heat by letting them grow all winter. I start harvesting in January/February."
