| Scientific Name | Pisum sativum |
| Growing Days | 60-70 |
| Varieties We Grow | Snow; Snap |
| Growing Notes | Peas like it cool; they are one of the earliest vegetables planted in the spring. Pea seeds don’t have a great germination rate, so it’s best to plant extras. |
| Battle of the Bugs | Aphids, cutworms, and Mexican bean beetles like pea plants. |
| Fun Fact | Green peas are the shelling peas (don’t eat the pods) while snow and snap peas have edible pods. |
| Don’t Waste It! | Enjoy them raw or steamed; just don’t let them sit long or they’ll go to waste. Pea tendrils are also edible! |
