Lovely big pods! Any comments on it's culinary qualities?
I don’t normally taste test from the Seed Library garden, but you provided me with an excellent opportunity for a taste evaluation.

I sampled two very young pods (flat pod stage, 2” max.), and two with maturing seeds.
I couldn’t locate any at what I consider the best point of maturity: seeds half to three-quarters mature.
Flat pod: tender, good flavour for pod at this stage.
Mature: crisp juicy pods that are sweet! Not stringy. (Yum!)
Over mature pod: pods are still sweet, which compensates for the peas being on the starchy side. The peas at this stage are better tasting to me than a shelling variety that has been on the vine too long. (Still yum!)
I gave some seed of this variety to another gardener in the community garden.
She likes it, and has been asking me questions about how to save seed.
(I’ve loaned her my copy of “Seed to Seed”. If that gets an enthusiastic response, the next book will be “How to Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties”)
