Today I threshed the red-podded peas from the warmer field. I found five red-podded snap pea plants, one yellow podded snap pea plant, and one yellow snow pea plant. Then I saved the red-podded fibrous peas and called them "soup peas".
I'm not targeting yellow peas, but the yellow snow peas tasted great! And how could I not save seed from a yellow sugar snap pea?
Seed counts were low, because these were grown in competition with tree roots and in the shade.
