Pea

Pea - Organo Republic

The variety of thin, bright green pods can hold up to 11 peas each. Very easy to grow, matures in 70 days. The pods reach 5″ in length and grow on vines that are 24″ high. Gardeners are very fond of this species for its high yield and quality.
It is unknown when the peas were first grown, but the legend sends us to the court of Louis XIV, where the French gardener presented him in all its glory.
