Welcome

This wiki page is meant to be the result of a wide collaboration to record phenotypic (and presumed genotypic) information and photos to record valuable information in a comprehensive pea database of useful and rare pea varieties. A Collaboration from the Alan Bishop Homegrown Goodness Plant Breeding Forum. Thanks to all who have helped and contributed! The Open Source Seed Initiative Plant Breeding Forum (OSSI) forum may also be interested in this, as it is a newer forum meant to replace the old Alan Bishop HG forum. A backup of this Pea Database Collaboration Project (hopefully) will be maintained by Andrew on his website Biolumo.com.

Note:This page under active development and i am working on restoring the page backups and photos i have. New varieties and corrections can be being added daily. But since this is meant to be a community driven database, feel free to create an account and start adding to the wiki. I really don't mind.
