Product Description
Pea 'Sugar Snap' has lovely succulent, heavy cropping, sweet edible pea pods. The young shoots and leaves at the tips of the stems are delicious too. We sow some in the garden to grow for 'Sugar Snap' peas, and some in wooden fruit boxes or gutters once a month for just their tips - the most delicious cut-and-come addition to salads and risottos (see p131 Garden Cookbook).
- EASY
- Sow: February-September (for pea tips).
- Sow: March-June (for Sugar Snap)
- Seeds: 200
Sowing: Plant on at least 3 plantings, the first in March ,(or April on heavy ground), for summer picking, the second 4 weeks later in early summer, and the third 4 weeks later for picking in the autumn. Push the seeds lightly into the ground, and then rake the soil back over them, marking the rows at both ends. Easy to grow if you protect the seeds from the birds until it germinates. When the plants are an inch or two tall, stake them. Final Thinning/Planting Distance: Sow in strips with 3 rows of seeds about 4cm apart in each direction. Space rows at least 60cm apart Harvesting: Always pick peas young. Regular picking (ideally 2 or 3 times a week) will promote the formation of more pods.
