Jumbo peas are perfect for the fresh market, offering large pods filled with 8-10 dark green peas each, notable for their size of about 5 inches long. These peas mature in 71 days, thriving on vigorous 32-inch vines that are well-suited for both commercial row planting and trellising in smaller gardens. Ideal for fall harvest, their sizable pods and high yield make them excellent for fresh market sales or processing, catering to those looking for substantial, quality peas.
