Seeds of Change Garden

PEAS

Peas are native to Europe and Asia. Originally it grew in a wild form, but it was so long ago that it can no longer be found in that form.

Most peas are raised for their seeds, but some peas can be eaten within their pods. Peas need cool temperatures to grow, but a frost will injure the plants.
