These edible pea pods are crunchy and very sweet.
Peas will tolerate a light frost when young and heat when they mature.
This pea variety is delicious with fresh dips, added to stir fry, or lightly cooked and enjoyed alone. It's a tasty and versatile vegetable that is easy to grow either in the ground or in containers, tolerating a variety of climates, and can be harvested when young for an early crop.
When planting sugar snap peas, be sure to sow seeds roughly 1" deep and 2" apart in rows, keeping your rows approximately 2.5' (two and a half feet) apart. Plants will perform best when a trellis supports them! Sow seeds in an area that receives full sun.

Peas are a cool-season crop, easy to grow and very quick to harvest. Direct-sow the seeds 1 to 2 inches apart and 1 to 1½ inches deep. In warm southern and western climates, peas are also ideal as a fall crop started in late summer.
Planting Depth: 1"
Seed Spacing: Plant Sugar Snap Pea seeds 2" apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 2.5' apart.
Nutrient Care Instructions: Apply SUPERthrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
When harvesting peas, do not jerk pea pods from vines since rough handling can cause plants to stop producing. It is best to snip clusters of pods from vines with scissors or pruners.
