Peas: description of the 43 most popular varieties, undersized, medium-sized and varieties of grain forage purposes (Photo & Video) + Reviews
Since childhood, I remember helping my grandmother grow peas with my sister, and then pick them. What does the last action have to do with it, we were looking forward to it, because while all the adults were collecting in baskets, my sister and I filled our stomachs, and in addition to the fruits of peas, we chewed skins from which sweet juice stood out. I remember how my grandmother used to say that thanks to the variety, we collect peas quickly and he is not afraid of cold weather, weather changes and even some diseases. We had a children's sugar variety. Grandmother rented most of it for wholesale, and kept a small part for herself and endowed our parents and us with canned food from her own garden, and the peas were good in freezing.
I read the article in one breath: both useful and information comes from childhood.
