aE ae but do not sow in cold, wet ground. They grow best when weather is cool.

To enjoy the sweet, delicious flavor of peas, pick pods before 
they become fully developed and while still green; then 
cook as soon as possible, because they lose flavor rapidly 
after picking, the sugar changing to starch. Grow your own 
and get the real, sweet flavor of garden fresh vegetables at 
their very best. For winter use, can or quick freeze any } 
that you may have in surplus.
