Peas : Mammoth Melting

A classic Snow Pea that lives up to its name, can be used as cut flowers

Mammoth Melting Snap Pea pods are used like snow pea pods. The thick, stringless, 4"-5" flat edible pods encase creamy-white seeds. It is a high yielding, early, uniform and wilt-resistant variety. The pods are excellent for stir-frying, steaming, freezing, or eating fresh. Mammoth Melting pea vines produce white blossoms that are beautiful enough to use as cut flowers.

Fabaceae Pisum sativum

Tarnished Plant Bug

Lygus lineolaris

This small (¼”) bug sucks the juice from plants, causing distortion, wilting and dieback. It attacks a very wide range of plants (over half of common crops may be attacked), but is most problematic on celery, eggplant, lettuce, pepper, strawberry and tomato.

Tarnished Plant bug can be controlled with row covers and attracting native predators. If it becomes a big problem try rotenone.
