Days to Maturity: 40 from direct sow
AAS Winner 2017 (for size, flavor and speed)
Super-early, super-compact, and super-flavorful, Patio Pride is nothing less than a super-pea! This All-America Selections Winner simply astonishes with 30 or more pods on plants so well-branched and compact you can grow them in containers! And the flavorlet's just say that nothing about this pea is small other than the size of the plant!
Patio Pride reaches just 18 to 24 inches high (when trained on a support) and spreads no wider than a foot, so you can grow it easily in an 8-inch pot or larger. A great companion to cool-season flowering plants in your container garden, it sets several dozen uniform 2- to 3-inch pods. Bright green and very succulent, the pods contain delicious seeds. Eat them right off the vine, lightly steam them, and use them in all your recipes.
And Patio Pride extends your season. Being earlier than most, it gets you harvesting sooner than ever, and keeps going later than many others in both spring and fall. This is a quick crop you can plant successively for months of fresh eating.
The growing is easy with Patio Pride. It loves sunshine to partial shade, and finishes in just over a month. As a legume, it is a nitrogen fixer in the soil, so be sure to chop up the plant after harvest and work it into your garden. Next season's veggie patch will be all the richer for it!
Easy to grow, peas love cold weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. If you want to plant Patio Pride in the garden, sow 3 to 4 seeds per 6-inch patch of soil, burying them about 1 to 1½ inches deep. Thin to a single seedling per 6 inches, sowing in double rows if you want to place a pea fence or trellis between the rows. Start another crop 2 weeks later, continuing all spring, and then repeat in late summer for fall harvest.
If you are growing Patio Pride in pots, sow 3 or 4 seeds near the center of the pot, thinning the seedlings to one. Start another container 2 weeks later, continuing all spring, and then repeat in late summer for fall harvest.
Pkt is 1 oz. (approx. 80 seeds)
These shrubby or vining plants bear white flowers that are followed by pods containing the edible, smooth or wrinkled Peas. Harvest them in the early morning when the pods are fully swollen. They should be filled out, but not bulging, and the seeds should not be hard. Snow Peas and Sugar Peas are grown for their edible, soft pods. Harvest them when young, succulent, and still flat. Pick all types regularly to keep the plants producing pods
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
