 Flowering The Blue Podded Pea colorfully produces lovely purple-blue pods that can be harvested young & used as a snow-pea, or let mature & shell for soup peas (dry soak overnight for dried peas). The flowers are a beautiful purple/red & the pods are a deep purple/blue. The Blue Podded Pea is productive Dutch strain of heirloom pea that dates back hundreds of years & remains popular to this day. Peas do well when it's cool (think spring & fall). For the highest yields make sure they have a trellis to climb. This ensures more of the plant gets sun. Continually harvest ripe pods to increase the harvest time. If saving for seed &/or soup, leave the pods on the vines until they dry & the seeds (peas) become hard.

 Hi there! My name is Jen. I'm a "tree hugging dirt worshiper" who has been organically farming for well over a decade. It never ceases to amaze me at how much I've learned & how much I am still learning. I have studied natural health, nutrition, & herbs for over two decades. Our health & the natural world around us are connected in ways we don't often realize. How we treat the land & animals directly affects us in both body & mind. My goal is to provide others with truly natural humane goods from my own little piece of paradise, & to freely pass along whatever knowledge I pick up along the way. I am grateful every day to be able to have such a worthwhile & fulfilling job surrounded by the beauty & unpredictability of Mother Nature.
