Pisum sativum (6o days, trellis) Producing an avalanche of snow pea pods, Blizzard lives up to its name. It’s in full force shortly after the snowy winter with concentrated, prolific production! And the taste— sweet, crisp, delicious, and satisfying; the best we’ve ever had! Pods average 3 inches long and are produced in pairs for fast and easy pickin’. Plants have an open canopy, so the pods are easy to find. Vigorous vines grow to 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall. Perfect for stir-fries, salads, or eating fresh off the vine.
