Peas
Scientific Name: Pisum sativum
Category: Vegetables and Herbs
Description:
Peas are one of the most cold tolerant plants grown in Kansas gardens. They can be planted about as early as soil can be prepared in the spring. Most varieties produce pods and the seeds need to be shelled. Several newer varieties produce thick, fleshy pods, and the pods as well as seeds can be eaten. Some thin-podded oriental types produce tender pods with only the pods used.
