Since you cannot purchase shelling peas or edible pod peas that are freshly picked, this is one vegetable every home garden should have. The peas in the pod taste sweetest right after they have been picked (while you're still in the garden!). Modern dwarf varieties do not climb and are bred for a once over harvest. To extend the harvest time, they have to be planted every few weeks, from late February to mid-April. Vining or indeterminate peas continue to yield over a longer period of time, but they are not as disease resistant as the newer varieties. Peas climb using tendrils and require netting for support that the tendrils can link onto easily.
