Last fall I grew Kapuler's purple podded snap pea. I'm expecting to plant it again this spring. I'm using it as part of my attempt to breed a red podded pea.

Yep, those are the only ones i know of as well.
Last year i trailed Midnight Snow, and will probably plant enough again to evaluate for a second year. This year i will be trailing both the Sugar Magnolia and the Shiraz Pea as well, and attempting to use them for crosses like Joseph for red-podded F2's. That reminds me.. I should probably order another packet of Opal Creek (yellow snap).
P.S. *A noteworthy thanks goes out to Robertb!! Thanks for sending me the seeds for Shiraz and Bijou!

I should get some and grow them out for seed. Keen, what are the chances I could talk you out of 10 seed each of Shiraz, Sugar Snow, and Sugar Magnolia?

DarJones Hey Dar, Yeah i can probably help you out with seed for Midnight Snow for sure. I'm fairly certain i got a decent crop of those (even though Dan himself had a crop failure over in California). I will have to look at the others. I usually like to send at least 20 seeds of whatever i send to people, but if 10 seeds are all you need then i might be able to. Send me a PM to remind me, and i'll take a look for you. -Andrew |

I'm growing out the F1 of a cross I did earlier in the season between Cascadia (bush snap) and Capucijner (climbing purple podded soup). The aim is a purple snap and/or snow. Can't let you northerners have all the fun!

a pic of some of my F1s (Mammoth Melting X Purple Podded and Yakumo X Purple Podded) just beginning to pod up. I've got some crosses that might yield a red podded, and hopefully a decent yellow snow as well. Attachments:

Today's Snow Peas. I'll wait a week and if it's not too hot, start them again, and again. And then we wait for peas. Giante Svizzero (Caroby Mangetute) and Sugaree are all ready up in the garden. I put them in January 27. I still have to get the soup peas in. I wish I had more varieties of these, but by the time the Seed Saver's book came, it's practically too late to order and plant. So, I'll order them now for next year. Next patch of lupines need to go in too. Tomorrow is another day...  Attachments:
