Best Peas for Fall/Winter Peas?

[GoDawgs]

Sabre is a 30-36” tall shelling pea that does well in hotter weather. I’ve grew it last year and like the flavor of Sabre better than Wando.

I might have to try some of those. Ordering is done for this spring but will make a note for next year.

The deer will be looking for tendril recipes, too.

Thank goodness those pests aren’t around my yard. Less than a mile away it’s a different story.

The Pea-dom. Have yet to harvest any, but they look pretty.

For shoots and tips, Usui is my favorite variety. It grows very short, so it can be tucked into a small southern end of the garden. I've never tried the peas themselves. They are likely not tasty, as I've never heard a report of anyone eating them.
