Gloria; Thank you for visiting. This post wasn't particularly educational, but I have posted (possibly) more than you really want to know about peas. Three posts on my Your Small Kitchen Garden blog might be helpful: Small Kitchen Garden Pea Notebook 1 Small Kitchen Garden Pea Notebook 2 Small Kitchen Garden Pea Notebook Video I grow only Wando peas which are "pod peas." This means that when the pods are fat, you crack them open, strip out the peas, and eat just the peas (though some people eat the pods, but I find them quite tough by the time the peas are ready inside of them). Wandos taste grand raw, lightly boiled, or steamed. They are grandest when cooked up in one of my favorite Kitchen Garden dishes: New Potatoes and Peas. If my blog posts don't answer all your pea-related questions, please post another comment with specifics and I'll try to be helpful.

Hi I enjoyed reading about your peas, but I’m still confused because, unfortunatley, I have no idea what type, or what is the exact name of these peas. Are they sugar peas, snap peas or what? Can you help me please?? Plus, I have other questions like do they have to be removed from the pod and directly eaten, so on so forth. Any help will be greatly appreciated from anyone. Please write to gbabe99@gmail.com Thanks so very much.

I’m glad you posted pictures; I’m growing peas for the first time (well, second, but they didn’t do well last year), and I need to know what they’ll look like when they’re ripe!
