Love the Maestro peas

Jan 17, 2015 | By Janet McAvoy

We have used these seeds many years and continue to use them. They come in early so I can freeze them for the winter then can replant in the same area.They are perfect for freezing and are determinate. Sorry to see the other seed catalauges have discontinued them.

Best Peas Ever!

Sep 1, 2013 | By Mike Wheeler

These peas grew wonderfully & produced a ton of great tasting peas! The plants were very healthy and sturdy. I'll be buying more of them next year.

First Place Pea!!

Jun 1, 2011 | By Katie

I can always tell when I have a fantastic veggie in my garden- my 9-year-old son goes out and grazes. Last year I had empty pea pods all up and down my pea rows! I planted both these and another variety, but Maestro won me 1st place at our county fair!

Excellent Choice

Jan 31, 2011 | By Kim

Excellent choice of pea. They are hardy, grow strong and produce the best tasting peas. I highly recommend them!

Best peas ever

Jul 13, 2010 | By Liz

These are so good, they are always eaten before they make it to the table. No problems growing them, even in zone 4.

great crop!

Jul 6, 2010 | By Karen

This is the 1st time I have planted the maestro peas and was pleasantly surprised. The pods were long with up to 13 peas in them, they were yummy and produced a good amount. Only thing to do differently next year I would stake them up so the wind doesn't blow them over and it's harder to pick. Definitely planting again next year!!!

Maestro Peas

Jun 19, 2007 | By Leon Horman

I planted Maestro and Green Arrow Peas on April 4th. this year. The Maestro Peas are just now about ready to eat. (About 68 days). The Green Arrow are now in bloom. I have always liked Green Arrow but the Maestro is so much earlier and taste great.
