Sweet Gem Pea is a certified organic live 3-inch starter plant carrying light green pods of three to three and a half inches — thick-walled, juicy, and holding the kind of sugar that mostly does not survive the walk back to the kitchen.

The vines are vigorous, climbing to seven feet given something to hold, so put up a trellis, netting or a length of pea fence before they need it. Peas are a cool-season crop: plant early, keep the roots moist, and harvest from about 68 days. Pick into a bowl rather than a pocket — these are better raw than they will ever be cooked.

Grower's note: pick every couple of days once pods start filling. Peas read a full vine as a finished season and slow down; steady picking keeps them setting.
