speaking the truth

Hypothetically, I would actually buy a packet of seeds to plant next spring, because I'm not sure whether they're developed enough to sprout if they don't get to mature all the way on the vine. (Maybe talk to your farmers market supplier some about both sides of that statement?) And you will also need to give some deep thought towards how to keep varmints out of the plants, because apparently my brother and I are the only creatures on earth that dislike fresh green peas. Of all the peas I planted this year, only 1 vine was allowed to grow, and even that one got chewed off through the stem before it got going well.
