Dwarf is a relative term, they aren't little bushes, they're just shorter than the tall varieties.

I think you're absolutely right that Frieda isn't the pea I'm looking for. Even though we technically have a first/last frost date of Dec 31 - Feb 15th or something here, we don't really get frost. Too much cement, roads, buildings, etc. So cold tolerance doesn't aid me much. But I can see how overwintering in your area could Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455711123302797986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-24294069787375394292018-02-13T06:59:46.426-08:002018-02-13T06:59:46.426-08:00I think the primary merit of the Frieda World snow...I think the primary merit of the Frieda World snow peas is their cold hardiness, they're supposed to be fairly frost resistant. They certainly sailed through what passed as winter here this year. We had a few frosty nights and the little baby plants made it through with absolutely no protection.

I grew Golden snow this year so I could play with the yellow pod genetics in crosses. I found they had a decent, but shrugable, nothing to write home about taste.<br /><br />Anyway, I've never heard of Frieda World. Ideally I'd like to grow a snow pea next year just for the eats, so I'd love to hear your Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455711123302797986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-20680947341457337232018-02-08T16:00:06.277-08:002018-02-08T16:00:06.277-08:00I used to make paper pots out of newspaper, but, a...I used to make paper pots out of newspaper, but, alas, the newspaper contained about 90% ads (extremely wasteful) so I stopped it. Now I face paywalls and still tons of ads. I refuse to pay for ads so use up my 5 or 10 free articles and switch to another newspaper.
