Pea, Maestro

Annual. Pisum sativum

30 seeds per packet. 

Reliable Shelling Pea, very short habit (2.5ft max) and doesn't need trellising, although it does benefit from it. Fairly heavy yields despite the short plants, and the peas are juicy and plump and perfect for processing, freezing, etc. Fun to sit around and shell peas and talk story with friends and family, reconnecting with slow food and having appreciation for each bag of frozen peas you've ever bought for less than $5. A great plant to grow in a kids garden, if you can keep them from eating the pods whole (the shell is stringy). Fixes nitrogen, generally just an awesome plant.
