$1.89

The Pea Shelling Progress # 9, 'Pisum sativum', is an old favorite and this 18" plant needs no staking and has plump peas with a superb flavor. Remember when you were a kid how fun it was to pop open a pod and eat the peas? As an adult, you will enjoy the wonderful taste of Progress # 9 and appreciate the dwarf vines which require no staking! Progress # 9 has 5 inch pods with 7 to 9 plump peas per pod. Plant in the early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In mild climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. Peas prefer well drained soil. Keep the plants moist but do not get them over watered and soggy. Shelling peas should be harvested when when the pods are plump which is about 3 weeks after flowering. ... additional information
