Shelling Mix: This mix contains mostly shelling peas and a few edible podded types. They are all vining types, but can be grown fine without a trellis. The shelling peas are best harvested when the pods are full, but before they convert all the sugars to starch. They are super sweet and yummy.
Soup Mix: This mix has some intense pea diversity. There are many different height and maturity ranges here. Some known pea varieties in this mix include Roveja, Red Fox Carlin, Swedish Red, and Darlaine Soup Pea. There are also fresh eating and shelling pea types. All are good for dry use peas. Due to different maturity ranges, give these a bit more space per pea so that it is easier to remove the earlier maturing varieties as they dry down. A strong trellis is recommended.
Packets contain approximately 50-75 seeds.
