I got my initial Big Red Ripper from SESE at least four years ago and have been saving the seed ever since. Big pods with large seeds and I love 'em. They get planted in the corn rows once the stalks are pulled since the peas thrive in heat. The perfect summer crop for here.
This year the vines are going nuts. It may be due to cooler and happier roots since I mulched them this year. Maybe because of leftover nitrogen in the soil from the corn. Regardless, when I checked them this morning and saw baby pods forming, it was "Hmmmm...." when I thought about how I'm going to get in there to pick when the time comes.
