Homegrown peas taste so much better than store bought peas! Like snap or green beans, pods and all are consumed! 'Cascadia' has 3" long, deep green, thick, juicy pods that are very flavorful. Serve raw with dip, steam, or stir fry. Short, 30" vines are self-supporting. Resists powdery mildew and pea enation virus, making it an excellent choice for late summer sowing as well.
