  • Posted by farmerdill (Augusta Georgia - Zone 8a) on May 16, 2013 7:00 PM concerning plant:
    A very productive afila type pea. Short stiff plant that has leaves but masses of stiff tendrils at the top. Pods set at the top and mature uniformly. Designed for once over machine harvest but very easy to pick by hand. Excellent flavor.
