Spidra's Snow Pea 'Taichung 13' x 3
Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon
Progress Journal (4)
Timeline
Kitazawa seeds are pretty expensive and Berkeley Bowl seemed to have them lower than garden stores so I splurged on another snow pea variety.This one is supposed to be sweeter than Taichung 11. It has white flowers instead of the charming white-pale pink ones that Taichung 11 has.
Where is it?
Currently growing in Spidra's The Grim Reaper garden

Wait – Berkeley Bowl sells seeds?
(Sorry to hear of your loss though…)

Just Kitazawa Seeds, I think. Possibly some other heirloom brand, I haven’t looked lately. As for the loss, it was pretty much the natural time for them to die. I haven’t yet learned a better system on Folia to put a listing “on ice” until I plant again. I don’t want to have to enter all that info again. So I just move it to The Grim Reaper until I replant.
BTW – if you’re a Berkeley person, you might be interested to know that Berkeley Hort doesn’t seem to carry Seeds of Change anymore. However, they are carrying Seed Savers.

Hm, I’ve never been to Berkeley Hort (I actually live in the East Bay, and getting through the tunnel is a b*$@&, but I like to go to Berkeley Bowl sometimes for the bulk foods and other interesting offerings). I may have to check it out though… Usually I just go to Orchard Nursery, which is right in town. and which has a very good plant selection (and great organic potting soil) but in terms of seeds is not so hot (oh, they have a lot but they are all “standard” varieties of things).
