For many of us, peas are the first thing we plant each year.
I was wondering what everyone's favorite garden pea is? And why?
For me, the nod goes to Blue Pod Capuciner. Simply because it's the prettiest pea in the patch. The foliage has a purple cast to it. The flowers are bi-colored--rosy pink flags and wine colored pendants, which fade to blue as they wilt. Pods are purple, darkening as they mature. And the peas, themselves, brown.
Blue Pod Capuciner is a soup pea. For fresh peas, there are several I like. But standard garden peas don't do all that well here, because of the heat. The edible podded and sugar snap peas are much happier here. This year, for the first time, we'll be trying the Dwarf Gray Edible Podded to see how it does.
Anybody have experience with them?
