This arguably the best English pea that I have grown. Long slender pods with the best quality peas. Very productive. While I grew without trellising, Green Arrow does have medium lenght vines and would profit from some support.
This vine produces abundant peas without getting out of control. I grow it on a 6' trellis. Snappy and sweet.
I grew Cascadia snap peas both last fall and this spring. A nice height, not really short but not tall vines either that did not need a lot of support. A good all around snap pea.
Wando used to be touted as the drought-proof pea. It's not, but it does tolerate a bit more heat than most. Relatively long season at 70 days. Good performer, but not the eating quality of the competition.
Great early producer of many 3 inch pods containing about 7 peas each. Nice flavor cooked or fresh.
Growing these for the first time, most of the plants are 5 feet tall and started blooming about a week ago. Look nice and healthy with a lot of flowers coming. Germinated well in the garden.
While Little Marvel is the dwarf pea of my youth, I have never found it very dependable. In my teens, my folks switched to Burpee's Blue Bantam, which was quite superior. Later Blue Bantam was replaced with Early Bird or Laxton's Progress # 9 which were vastly superior to Little Marvel. Blue Bantam was very good but disappeared from the market.
An excellent early dwarf pea. Dependability is its major claim to fame as it it will produce a crop when others are failing all around it. Flaor is better tha the the smooth seeded varieties but not as good as later season peas. Similar to Early Bird.
A 2-4 foot vine. Introduced in the 1880's by Thomas Laxton. A smooth seeded pea that is very cold resistant. Good production and good flavor for a smooth seed pea.
French heirloom snow pea (before 1860). Large, flat green pods for steaming, stir-frying, or eating raw. Gourmet flavor. Creamy-white blooms.
