If you are after pea shoots, you need to find organic seed, preferably, of any
kind of edible pea, and sprout them in soil and cut when they are 6 " or so. It
doesn't matter whether they are the snow peas or shell peas, or sugar snaps, as
it is the shoot you are eating, not the pea.

Hello,

I need advice on growing peas, i want to grow the variety that is used in
Chinese cooking called Dou Miu. I believe they are of the snow peas variety
although i have come across infomation on the web saying that pea shoots
from any or most varieties can be used for this dish and again i've also
found stuff on the web saying that not all pea shoots & pods are edible? can
someone tell me what i should be growing for dou mui?

thanks
