Fresh, homegrown peas taste so sweet its hard to believe!
If you've only ever had store bought peas then sure they are sweet, mild, and pleasant enough. But when you pop a plump, garden-fresh pea straight from the vine into your mouth, its completely different, its like a burst of freshness!
Fresh homegrown peas are so much sweeter and more flavourful than anything you'll find in a grocery store because they’ve had all the time they need to develop their natural sweetness. Whereas supermarket peas are often picked early then refrigerated or frozen, which diminishes their flavour and texture.
Peas grow pretty quickly, are low maintenance and productive. They're a great cool season crop for the home garden and can be grown in all climates.
Once they start producing pick your peas regularly (e.g. every few days) to prolong flowering and extend your harvests. There's nothing like the crisp, sweet delight of fresh homegrown peas!
