Peas:
Two of the most popular peas for growing are the Snow Peas and the Snap peas. Both have
edible pods as well as peas, and when harvested promptly are sweet and delicious either
cooked or straight from the vine.
This is a great vegetable to start the kids on as it is easy to grow and fast growing - a great
boon to impatient children!

been prepared with canes, trellis, cage or other support for the peas to climb up.
