Pea, Snap, “Sugar” Seeds
Organic.
Snap peas are best eaten fresh and there’s nothing like picking them right off the vine. The French call edible podded peas mange tout meaning “eat all.” An All-America Selections award winner, ‘Sugar Snap’ provides an extended harvest of thick, crunchy 3″ pods filled with flavorful peas. Vines tolerate some heat. Grow climbing 6’–8′ vines on poles or a trellis.
