around 19+ years ago, when we moved here in eastern Washington, we purchased some shell pea seed from Johnny's called 'Multistar'. they were tall plants on a trellis and in the dead heat of summer, they produced 13+ peas in big pods, throughout the summer till fall. we have been trying to find those seeds again, as Johnny's doesn't sell them anymore. if anyone has heard of them or knows where they can be purchased, please let me know...thanks.
last year we planted 'Mayfair' shell pea seed from Peters Seed Research. in June we were extremely unusually hot, 100's!!!, and these peas produced right through the heat, all summer and into the fall. they were semi-tall plants with 8 - 9 large peas in the 5+ inch pods. very sweet and excellent frozen and home canned. needless to say, we have planted these again here this year and will save seed!
