Keen101 · February 11, 2017

I thought i had posted a copy here, but it looks like i didn't. In anticipation for 2017 i will post some pictures from 2016. I'm hoping to do a big pea growout this year. Here's hoping i get some really good yellow and reds.

I'm also hoping to do a cross between yellow podded and the orange-pod gene, i'm hoping if that cross is successful that in the F2 i will get a true dark golden-podded pea, which in theory could also help create a more red red-podded pea. In theory anyway. Only one way to find out. But the orange-pod gene is supposedly tied to fiber, so if that is true sadly those pods will probably never be snow or snap peas. Still might be cool though.

This first photo is actually from 2015, but it's one of the better photos i have, so i'm including it.

2016:

And this one looked like a snap pea, but it had a nice yellow coat with pink speckles. It was particularly charming even though the speckling was hard to notice.
