My wife loves a variety called "elite"; they are the tiniest little things you've ever seen. Personally, I wouldn't shell them for them, but they're her favorite. My fav is Creme 40. She called a farmer we buy from and he's got 8 different varieties of peas growing.In the southern US, what we call peas are really cow peas {or field peas}. We call early peas snow peas. I plant a fresh pea patch every 21 days. I had them last year right up to killing frost. I've grown all kinds, but Pink-eyed Purple Hulls are my favorite.
I grow Blue Lake green {bush} beans. I've had trouble getting that 2nd crop in. It is just too hot here for them to make. I'll try some really early, then another patch about the normal time. Nothing better than green beans and early potatoes.
I also have a pole bean I got from an old Filipino lady that is really good. I grow field corn just so they have something to vine on. {I'm lazy as hell when it comes to building trellises}
Hey. I'm Larry with a new pair of socks. We've gave up on peas the last couple three years. The bugs got so bad, and I'm not a big fan of poison. Back when I was a kid we truck farmed. I never had eight kinds of peas, but peas were our main crop. Now folks don't have the time to shell, so unless you have a machine to shell them, it's harder to sell them. Hell, we've been buying shelled peas ourselves.My wife loves a variety called "elite"; they are the tiniest little things you've ever seen.

Ohh man I love some fresh peas. I grew up shelling peas on the porch with the old ladies, if you take care of the old ladies they’ll take care of you. My wife will help me shell some now but she makes a big mess so if she doesn’t want to help I don’t fuss too much lol.Hey. I'm Larry with a new pair of socks.
