First it was Lavandulagirl and now Rebsie, I know what the logical conclusion for Canadamike is now! LOL
They are both very attractive, intelligent, and wonderful though, much better subject than that thread regarding Sarah Palin.

Ummm... folks, I'm pretty sure we are supposed to be rating the plants... though I have to say that Rebsie does seem like a great gal.
As for the forum subject: Great idea.

Ok I was into goats !! ;D ;D Rebsie, I'd like to have your toughts on this one. I much prefer vining peas for the ease of picking and extended harvest. And I love small peas, the smaller the better. We call them sweetlets here. That is the reason I grow the wonderful ROI DES CONSERVES from France. But I'd like, for canning purposes, to have a concentrated crop. So dwarfs or bush are in order. One flush and theire gone. But I was going to search for small ones again and this morning it dawned on me: wouldn't I be better to go for a big one and pick them all immature, when they are all very sweet or is there a small one that will give me satisfaction, i.e. peas that are all small and NOT mealy at the same time?

Aww, thanks everyone. Nice idea Alan, to start a review section. This is the kind of information people really find useful. An honest review, even a brief one, is worth so much more than a sales blurb. Michel, I'll have to have a think about good varieties with small peas. But in principle yes, you could just grow tall varieties and harvest them while they're still immature and exquisitely sweet. Alan, back in the basement to your pumpkins! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I bet you were hoping I wouldn't know what you meant. But I've read that dirty pumpkin thread.

Rebsie: it's ok, Alan's secret life is not so secret anymore anyway One of the reason I was asking myself that is I have noticed that small peas that have not achieve a certain maturity ( shape) tend to get squashed by my pea sheller.
