I learned to cook with pea greens (especially stir fries) when we lived
up in Madison and I shopped at the Farmer's Market there. Now we have
our own garden again but we don't know which peas are especially good
for nice tender pea greens. Can someone help me out here so I know what
to plant for next year? Thanks!


As far as I know, all would be.

Me, I'm going to grow Sugar Snaps of one kind or another:
they are so wonderful, plus you get more from them.

My husband (stuffy Brit that he is! - about food, anyway)
sniffs at the idea of 'eating pea pods'. He can shell the
Sugar Snaps if he wants to.

I'm not bothering with English peas, you need far too many
of them to get any reasonable amount.
