Snow peas are one of the few vegetables that do well in my garden,
so well that I no longer have to buy seeds. They simply sprout on their own
and are reasonably productive for a couple of months in the spring, apparently
from pods overlooked or discarded.

Some of the pods are nearly stringless, others have pronounced strings even
when the pods are quite small (~2" long). It's been suggested that they have
"reverted" from a hybrid to a mongrel variety. I thought this impossible, as
pea flowers are said to be perfect and self-pollinating. Is this correct?

Thanks for reading,
