Peas are a cool season vegetable, and do best in a climate where there are two months of cool growing weather, either spring planting in the northern regions or fall planting in the warmer, southern regions. Peas are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, B vitamins and lutein. The Cascadia snap pea is a favorite among kids, eaten raw because they taste like candy! This heirloom variety doesn’t need to be shelled!
