The Blue Shelling Pea is a delightful variety of garden pea known for its vibrant blue-podded shells and sweet, tender peas. Unlike the common green varieties, the blue pods of this pea make it a visually striking addition to any garden. These peas are typically grown for both their ornamental value and their delicious seeds, which can be eaten fresh, steamed, or used in a variety of dishes. The plant itself is relatively easy to grow, thriving in cooler climates and requiring support as it climbs eagerly upwards. Sowing can begin early in the season, as soon as the soil can be worked, and continues until the heat of summer starts to set in. The Blue Shelling Pea is not just a feast for the eyes but also offers a nutritional boost, being rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins. Gardeners appreciate this variety for its dual purpose, providing both aesthetic appeal and a bountiful harvest of sweet peas.
