Great growing experience!
Easy to grow pea variety that yielded great results! The peas were yummy and went well in our stews. Pods were small compared to sugar snaps but the flavor was so much better! Any pods we didn't eat helped in our compost bin. The plants came to fruit pretty quickly so we already dried some peas to re-plant for another round.

Always a success
I have purchased many seeds from native over the years for myself and as gifts, even with inexperienced gardeners the seeds are always successful at germination.
