Sweet, smallish peas, 7-8 per pod. Plants benefit from staking or other support. Continual harvest prolongs harvest. Best planted in early to mid spring, plants withstand light frosts; summer heat causes significant loss of flavor and flowering. A second crop can be grown if planted mid to late summer.
