Little Marvel Garden Pea

Seed Count: Approx. 20 Seeds Days to Maturity: 65 Days Description: The Little Marvel Garden Pea is an excellent choice for home gardens because of its high productivity and delicious sweet flavor.  This semi-dwarf shelling pea has a compact growing nature, growing to about 30 inches tall, so its perfect for small gardens and doesn't require staking. It produces lots of 3 inch, bright green pods that contain 6-9 luscious, sugary, sweet peas that even stay tender when ripe.  It's great for freezing, canning, and adding to just about anything, but if you're anything like me, they never even make it into the house. How To Grow Sowing:  Because peas thrive in cool weather and do not transplant well, they should be planted outside 4-6 weeks before the last frost or when the average soil temperature reaches at least 40 degrees F.  If planting later, remember that most peas won't tolerate weather above 75 degrees F.  Plant seeds 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep, in light soil and full sun.
