About Snap Peas

Snap peas are the sweet crisp pods eaten whole — one of the most rewarding quick crops in the garden. Extremely cold-tolerant, they are among the first plants sown in spring and last eaten in early summer.

Direct sow as soon as soil can be worked — 6 weeks before last frost. Install a trellis before planting (tall varieties reach 5-6 feet). Pick daily when pods are plump and sweet. Heat stops production — plant a fall crop as well.
