Suggestion about the Garden Peas forum

[Shule]

There are three main types of peas (not counting cowpeas and similar):
- Snap peas
- Snow peas
- Garden peas

Snap peas are what most people seem to like to grow. I like to grow snow peas (currently).

I notice there's a 'Garden Peas' forum, but there's no forum for snow peas, and no forum for snap peas.

My suggestion is to do one of the following things to address the situation:

1. Merge 'Garden Peas' and 'Cowpeas/Southern Peas' together, and rename the resulting forum 'Peas'. The number of threads in both forums looks sparse enough to justify that course of action.
2. Rename 'Garden Peas' to 'Snap/Snow/Garden Peas'
3. Rename 'Garden Peas' to 'Peas (Snap/Snow/Garden)'
4. Keep the current forums, but also add two new ones: 'Snap Peas' and 'Snow Peas' (and move the posts about each to the right forums.

Then I could post about snow peas without having to post under 'Other Legumes', and I wouldn't be tempted to rebeliously post off-topic snow pea content under 'Garden Peas'.

I thought snap and snow and english peas would all go in "garden".

@JRinPA
I don't mean to stir the pot with this suggestion. Just throwing it out there. If people don't like it, that's great, as long as I know where I'm allowed to post about snow peas.

Garden peas are peas that are only grown for the seeds.

Snow peas are only grown for the pods.

Snap peas are like a mix between the snow peas and garden peas.

Visualize World Peas

@Cole_Robbie
Thanks. World Peas would be perfect.

You're probably right. It fits another definition of garden peas (I tend to be an idealistic sort). I should probably just post about snow peas there.

When I read this thread my initial reaction was two threads, one for garden peas and one for cowpeas (synonyms southern peas, field peas). Green vs brown.

I think there's agreement that we can take 'garden peas' as a general umbrella for snow, snap, and shelly peas. There are already posts in there about snow peas and any other true peas (Pisum sativum!) that we grow in our gardens.
If we had a huge number of posts on one type of pea or another it might be worth separating, but until then do please post about your snow peas there!
