I was excited to stumble upon this variety of snap peas because I wanted to have something fun for my toddler to help me harvest later in the season. I meant to wait until later in the summer to start these, but got my seed packet mixed up with the pole beans while planting, and ended up putting these in my garden bed in late July. I soaked the peas overnight before putting them in the ground. So far, I have had perfect germination, and the young sprouts appear happy. We will see how these perform over the rest of the summer!

Given our climate I only recently planted them but they are coming up nicely.

The pea seed packets were filled with split peas and trash with very few viable seeds. Of the peas in the packets, the sprout rate was less than 20%. My pea crop was ruined by the quality of these seeds as the cost of soil amendments (which far exceeded the cost of seed) was wasted. Botanical Interests replaced my initial purchase with seeds that were just as bad as the initial purchase. I have never had an experience with seeds of such poor quality, and I will avoid their products in the future given the lack of quality control.
