Pisum sativum

55 days, climbing, shelling pea.  These vines are loaded!!  Super tender peas fill out smallish pods on this super early climbing shelling pea.  It gets its name from the fact that it is a very early pea that would be great in for a northern, short season climate.  Vines are 24"-36" tall and need trellising.

Peas love a crowd, sow 1" apart along as soon as the ground can be worked in spring. Plant 1" deep at the base of a trellis such as a fence or net strung between two posts as vines grow tall. Plants will bear longer if planted early and pods are picked regularly before peas begin drying down.
