Optima's Sugar Snap
Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon

Good news. Looks like we have 100% sprouting. Yay!

This is my first time growing pea. I’m primarily going after pea shoots (dou miao in chinese). However, most info I have read told me that snow pea should be grown instead of snap pea. Some places suggest snap pea can be used but depending on the variety. Some varieties have more tender shoot than the others. Since the store I visited only have snap pea, I’ll give it a try. Worst case, I’ll be eating snap peas. Second concern is I hope it’s not too late to grow. I guess we’ll find out within 70 days.
