Peas

[majorcatfish]

The worst part of shelling peas is it takes all day for one meal. But the taste cannot be beat.

cat you are so right.
cant wait till they are at the farmers market.
water, butter, chicken broth, fatback and pepper

I am attemping to grow peas for time, I am wondering are they heavy vines? I am hoping it will grow along my fence. Its now growing about 8 inches. no peas or flowers yet !

What variety are you growing? My Little Marvels don't really need any support but some can really use it.

wando peas and snow peas.

You might have decided on a couple of the more "robust" varieties, DL.

I've only grown Wando once, however. I wanted to see how it held up in July heat. I didn't see that it was much different than the Green Arrow that I grow most every year. Good vine growth and you should have a lot of pods for shelling

A "standard snow pea" is likely to be Mammoth Melting. The vines fit the first part of that name fairly well. They might be Oregon Sugar Pod but it is, again, a non-dwarf and will require a good trellis.
