It is pretty much always dry here, and sun hours are always great. I am growing peas early spring and will try again in the fall. I had very good success with Lincoln peas, but I am always looking to see if I can do better or find better. I am hoping in a year or two to master my gardens to maximize its potential. I grow other cold veggies too like spinach, lettuce, mustards and stuff. I rather have more peas and less spinach, sorry Popeye. Until this year I hadn't had much luck with peas, but the worm has turned and I am starting to figure this desert gardening out. So I figured I would look to see what people had for high yielding tasty English peas, and tougher the plant the better. I also had good success with Golden Snow Peas, so they will be mass planted next time too. A lot easier to pick due to their yellow pods.
I think Wando and Tall telephone peas will be added to my Lincolns for next year. I will try to trial one or 2 new ones every year.
PS ...sorry if i am inconsistent or lapsing in replies, its helter skelter these days here so i am stretched thin like too little butter over toast. I do read all replies and try to reply as best I can. I really appreciate and value everyone's opinion and advice here.
Cheers !
