    Customer photo review of Pea Seeds - Mammoth Melting

    As a first time veggie gardener i really like these peas! They came up pretty quickly, definitelyneed to trellis them young. They took a while to start producing peas but after they started they made plenty! Every day there would be a few more ready to pick then the day before. Small yields, but easty to maintain. If picked at the right time they are SO good, if left on too long they do get a bit tough if you eat them with the shell. But without they're still perfect and sweet. I have them in partial sun 6ish hours sun, zone 6b (HOT humid summers), watering occasionally outside of germination period and rain. Almost very seed germinated. Overall satisfied for my first try!
