The Savers of Flavor
Peas Come To The Table
Season 1
Episode 1
Which is the best garden pea? The first to ripen, breaking the winter dearth of green vegetables. Thomas Jefferson challenged neighbors to present the first plate of peas. Victors grew the Early Frame, sown in autumn, rising again in February. From 1770 to 1840 it defined spring gardens, then disappeared. The Savers identify an Early Frame pea from Little Mountain, SC, and return it to Monticello.
