Thanks, the peas will definitely be a long-time resident in my garden. The rows of peas keep themselves weeded, with a little bit of help from the straw mulch. I plan on picking them when we're about ready to use them - I don't want pods that could turn to seed to rot on the kitchen counter if we don't use them and freshly picked is healthier than two weeks off of the vine.
Baymule, I should be able to pass on some seeds of each color later this year if your interested(at least 20 per color? Probably less for the red peas as I have few plants and they aren't commercially available.) There's a catch though, you have to pass as much seed as you can to other gardeners. They're mostly vining types so you'll need a trellis, the dwarf greys are... dwarf (bet you didn't see that one coming?).
Philagardener, it sure will! I'm thinking that they are capable of selfing but outcrossing definitely helps. This plant seems to be very inbred and bug-eaten, not even close to the ones I grew last year. We'll see, like you said, it will be interesting. Saving seed if they do produce fruit.
EDIT: Before I forget - flower buds forming one Black Seaman tomato (as well as other varieties, but they were kind of rootbound when I got them). Flower buds also forming on the sunflowers.
