on a trellis. They are like beans but you have to open them to get the peas. I enjoyed it but much work for that great flavor.

thing.

summer place there. I grow them in Florida so I plant them in February. I just sprinkle the seeds in the soil and cover them per pkg directions. Key is to keep the soil wet until they sprout. I planted mine early March and they are a foot tall! Full sun and something for them to climb. Easy Peasy. Have fun!

We grow Oregon Sugar Snap, Cascadia and Snowbird, after soaking overnight, on a truly ratty, by now, cheap garden trellis netting and have bumper crops. Unless you grow short vines you'll have a collision at the top of tomato cages. Better to string the netting between bamboo poles. We're in former zone 6, now 7a in southern New England.

You can eat the whole pod and peas.

Versatile, they can be eaten cooked or raw. When my children were 5-9 they would go out to the garden and graze on the sugar snaps.

But they stir fry great.

We used tomato cages that I made from a roll of fencing I bought at Menards.

That’s a great idea.
