I grew those snap peas this year and they are now my new favorite. We harvested shoots, tendrils and many pea pods. Grew them in winter/early spring and tire then out Memorial Day to make room for summer veggies because it was getting too hot for peas. Another nice thing about them is the purple pods-- easy to find them to harvest.
Also bought Peacevine tomato from them, Geranium Kiss dwarf tomato that I am growing in 5 gallon buckets and these potted dwarf tomato plant make a nice gift to friends/family with no gardens; morfire zinnias, France's choice marigolds, buttercup squash and Peace bell pepper. I love their varieties. I used to buy Peacevine from Seeds of Chsnge, where Alsn Kapuler was one of the founders. So funny that I've been growing varieties developed by this family for almost 25 years.


I know someone had posted about the Peace Website and I did go look. I think it was probably you. But I was looking for beans, not peas then so didn't need anything. Now that I am thinking peas I am thrilled to have found them.

The thing for me is trying to find room in ground as to where to plant. Those pea vines are really tall. 6-8 feet, wow. So pots really will not work well for them. I Need to think on this a while.
