edible pods that are sweet and crisp straight off the plant. An early, dependable cool-season crop, it is easy to grow and hard to stop snacking on. Who it's for Perfect for beginners, snackers, and cool-season gardeners. Peas are one of the first things you can sow in spring, they grow quickly, and few garden treats beat a handful of fresh, sweet pods. This variety is also nicely disease resistant, making it forgiving to grow. How & when to plant Peas love cool weather, so sow them directly as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant the seeds about an inch deep in full sun, spacing them roughly 2 to 3 inches apart along a trellis or netting. They germinate in about 7 to 14 days and climb to around two to three feet. Growing & care Give peas support to climb from the start, since even short vines produce better and stay cleaner off the ground. Keep them evenly watered, especially once flowering, and they will crop generously in cool weather. As the weather warms, production slows, so enjoy them while it is cool. Harvest Pick snow peas young and flat, while the pods are tender and the peas inside are barely formed, usually around 60 to 70 days from sowing. Harvest often, since regular picking keeps the vines producing and the pods at their sweetest. Benefits & uses Sugar Pod snow peas are made for fresh eating and quick cooking. Toss them raw into salads, add them to stir-fries and noodle dishes, or simply snack on them in the garden. Their sweet crunch and edible pods make them one of the most rewarding spring crops.
