Alaskan Pea (Pisum sativum)
Shelling pea variety dating from the 1880s, with sweet round grains. Can be eaten fresh, or dried, and can be canned or frozen easily. Very early and therefore suitable for short seasons, like Quebec. Putting a net or stakes can help with the harvest, as it can reach almost a meter.
